Hayom Yom

The presence of Mashiach is revealed on Acharon Shel Pesach, and this revelation has relevance to all Israel: Pesach is medaleg,[1] "skipping over" (rather than orderly progress), and leil shimurim,[2] the "protected night." In general the mood of Pesach is one of liberty. Then Pesach ends, and we find ourselves tumbling headlong into the outside world. This is where Mashiach's revealed presence comes into play - imbuing us with a powerful resoluteness that enables us to maintain ourselves in the world.

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.

Shir HaShirim 2:8. Midrash Raba on that verse describes the Exodus as medaleg, "skipping over" calculations and rationales for redemption, bringing Israel out of exile regardless of their merit, regardless of the length of the exile. Later in that section the Midrash applies the verse to Mashiach.

Sh'mot 12:42, as Rashi notes, the night destined for redemption.

עס איז פאראן דער ענין וואס אחרון של פסח איז דער גילוי פון משיח, וואס איז שייך לכל ישראל. פסח איז דאך דער מדלג און ליל שמורים, און בכלל הערט זיך חרות'דיק, און נאכדעם פאלט מען אריין אין וועלט, איז דאס איז דער גילוי פון משיח, דער תוקף וואס עס גיט אז מ'זאל קענען געהן אין וועלט.
