Waiting for Mashiach in Galus

We brought Yitchak Fuchs’ “Boro Park” song here before.

Find the song background on Mishpacha here.

An excerpt from the article:

Reb Yitzchak wrote the song during his own personal “exile.” “I lived in Boro Park for six years. How could I not sing a song about it?” he asks. “I came to Boro Park during a rough time in my own life and I found so many brothers there so much Jewish warmth. They say that galus unites Jews — how true. I was amazed when I heard so much Yiddish rolling glibly off the tongues of youngsters not just old men. I sang about Boro Park as I viewed it — and as an Israeli filled with longing for Eretz Yisrael.

“At the beginning of the song a listener might think I’m encouraging other Jews to leave Eretz Yisrael for America chas v’shalom ” Fuchs continues. “But later you can hear that the call ‘Come to Boro Park’ is to Mashiach to come redeem all those waiting. Because really Boro Park could be anywhere: London Lakewood or even Yerushalayim or Bnei Brak. It’s just another place where our Jewish brothers are waiting. If only Hashem would send Mashiach already…”
