Moshiach is Here!
Chani Schreiber, age 14

Awaken, my friend!
Awaken and see.
How the galus ends,
How our enemies flee!

To Jerusalem we’ll rush,
With korbanos to bring.
We’ll build the bais hamikdash,
And greet our holy king.

Our life will be new,
So holy, so pure.
The old life is through,
No more fear, no more war.

All this shall depend,
On every one of our deeds.
Are we honest with our friends?
Or do we try to mislead?

If we are loving and kind to one another,
Nations will hold us in high esteem.
Our standards of compassion- brother to brother,
Will ensure that peace and tranquility reign supreme!

"What would it be like if you woke up
and Moshiach was here?"
Hindy Golomb, age 13

The shofar sounded
I was so excited
Moshiach had come
My lifelong dream just begun.

I jumped out of bed to begin my day,
Thank you Hashem for sending Moshiach my way.
All those Mitsvos had been put together
To build the Beis Hamikdosh forever and ever.

I rushed downstairs and started my day
With songs of Hallel,
Thank you Hashem for this beautiful day.
I hugged my mother, my sister and brother
“Moshiach is here,” we shouted to one another.

I rushed outside, “a miracle” I cried.
The roads all around,
Were like Erets Yisrael’s holy ground

Was that the kosel? I thought
As my family and I walked
Yes surely it is but connected to it the other 3 walls of the
Beis Hamikdosh the third-the one that won’t fall

And from all the corners of the earth
Streamed Yidden with one purpose,
To greet Moshiach our special leader,
Straight from Hashem our great feeder.

Right up in front, oh what a surprise,
Appeared Yaakov Avinu with his sons at his side.
And just behind him of course were the,
Other two Avos and their wives our mothers.

Then came Moshe, Aharon and Miriam their sister,
And all of the others in the generations after her.
The Yidden who had been stuck in Mitsrayim
Along with the Aruv Ravi’im

There is Yehoshua and the other prophets
And more people I have heard of from in the Torahs pockets

Then came the ones expelled from Spain,
I’m glad those goyim are gone, they were such pains,
To all the Yidden in the whole world
But now we will live in peace like Hashems children should

And now am I seeing right? Coming right up
My relatives who had become stuck
In the concentration camps of yesteryear
And how they had lived with such fear
And now they thank Hashem as well
For bringing together klal Yisroel

All together now like sisters and brothers
We travelled together to meet the others
And there right by the flaming Beis hamikdosh
Stood our leader with the levi’im to wash
Our feet from walking with our generations of past.

And then with a lot of joy in all our hearts,
Aaron Hakohen lit the Menorah
As Hashems glory stretched to the stars!

Moshiach Poem 
Malka Russell, age 11

I  woke up one morning - one morning at dawn
to hear the shofar blowing.

To see the lion rest with the fawn, Hashem’s
Shechina is ever-knowing.

World peace and serenity forever will be,
my family of ancestors and holy Gedolim I see.

Chocolates and marshmallows growing on trees,
where everything is so sweet.

Suffering and disease are gone forever,
boy is this a treat!

Rebuilding the third Beit Hamikdash
with all the proper tools and care.

Even when Moshiach comes
everyone will share.

Let’s get ready, let’s get started,
doing mitzvos so small and  large. 

So, everyone will know it’s Hashem, our Father in Heaven,
for He’s truly in charge.

Moshiach Poem
Rivka Rumshiskaya, age 13

I was always a dreamer
Or so I was told
But I could not help it
When before me –Behold!

I suddenly found myself
Standing behind
A great lot of people
Of many-a-kind

Some were laughing
Some were screaming
But all were beaming
With delight

It did not take long
For me to find out
That it was Moshiach
That had brought this about.

Moshiach had come. At last he had!
I jumped about like all the rest
We were so glad!
The Bayit HaShlishi would finally be built!


We all prepared the various parts.
We carried stones and bricks,
Sewed the coverings,
And cut the sticks.

Finally the work was done,
The Korbanot ready to be brought
And as I stood there,
I had a little thought.

Was I a dreamer
anymore?
Or was this true
Forever more?

I did not have to long to wait
Because it was clear
To all who were there
That this was true and real.

BI’MHEYRA BI’YAMEINU!!!

Infinite Light
Leah Garcia, age 13

I open my eyes
What do I see
Everything's white
White's surrounding me

The greatest feeling in the world
Entered me
Nothing bad would happen
And I had yet to see

I parted my curtains
And there sun is bright outside
Everything is pure
The pureness is wide

I don't know if there's a limit
For how great this day will be
I still had no idea
I still had yet to see

And then at last
I saw it so bright
There was the most wonderful sight
There was infinite light

The day was the best day
That I'd ever had
The day was so pure
Nothing could make me mad

And thankfully the rest of the days
Like this would reappear
There is infinite joy
Mashiach is here!

After 2000 Years
Talya Wasserman, age 14

Brought back to our land,
The Beis Hamikdash once again stands.
Korbanos we bring,
The Levi'im play music and sing.
After 2000 years,
Hashem wipes away our tears.
There is no more war,
Only happiness galore.
All is filled with light,
Everlasting, pure and bright.
After 2000 years,
A dream, our hope, fulfilled.

The Moshiach
Louisa Strothman, age 10

Time is moving way too slowly
Losing family,
Very lonely.

I am growing,
Things are happening;
Population is bulging,
Pollution in the ocean,
Crashing planes,
So many hurricanes.
Life is getting worse and worse.

The Moshiach!
The Moshiach has come at last.
Father, brother, sister, mother you are here.
I am happy once again.
No one near is hurt.

The Moshiach stayed.
All is still good.
The world has peace.
I’m no longer under a dark hood

Oh great Moshiach,
I have prayed,
And it paid off.
I do not feel guilty or sad.
I’d like to thank you,
For all the treasures I now have.

When the time had come
Bina Goykadosh, age 14

I woke up in the morning
To find my sister screaming
“He is here, He is here!”
she kept on repeating

I jumped out of bed
I didn’t have a doubt
I thought I knew what all the commotion was about.

Luggage and suitcases-
It was all I could see
Were we going on a trip to Florida?
California? Tennessee?

Suddenly there was a booming Shofar
Ringing in my ears
I understood what was happening!
And to my eyes, it brought tears.

It was the moment I’ve been waiting for-
For what seemed like forever
Moshiach had come,
I wouldn’t have to be sad- never!

I hopped onto the eagle’s wings,
And it flew me to the land of milk and honey.
It seemed so real and true-
It wasn’t even funny!

I saw the Bais Hamikdash
Standing with glory and pride
I felt as if I could hold onto this memory
And forever keep it by my side

But just that second
Did I feel myself fall down
And with a big thump
I hit the hard ground.

It had all been a dream-
it wasn’t for real!
The moment felt so good
But now it wasn’t here

I felt so distraught
But I told myself to wait
One day the dream will become reality!
I must have fate

All it takes is some bitachon,
And hopefully the day will come soon
When the right time is near
It will be opportune.

When He Comes
Eden Goykadosh, age 14

Oh the day we’ve been yearning for,
For over thousands of years,
To wake up one typical morning,
And for he to be here.

How long we have waited,
Cried, bawled, and screamed,
For the stone to roll over,
And break the statue into thousands of pieces.

Through so much torture we have been through,
Holocausts, Inquisitions, wars, and exiles,
Burdens we’ve carried on our shoulders,
For the day to come.

It seems like a dream,
When the day will finally arrive,
To arise from slumber,
Ending all the conflicts, problems, troubles, and pain.

For when that day comes,
When he will appear,
After so many sufferings,
After so many years,

We will rejoice,
All people, young and old!
We will celebrate that we can rebuild the Beit Hamikdash,
And continue to serve Hashem!

And though it may seem,
That this misery is endless,
Like an eternal, forever-lasting road,

The destination is close-by,
The moment is nearing,
By every second,
For he, Moshiach is coming.

Moshiach Poem
Chaya Schochet, age 11

If I would wake up, and Moshiach would be here,
I'd be so happy, I'd give a very loud cheer.
I'd jump up and down,ad
and twirl around and around.
I would shout for joy,
and be as happy as any Jewish girl and boy.
We would go to yerushalayim, and build the mikdash hashlishi,
and by the way, WE are the dor shvi'i.
Think! Just one more Mitzvah,
that will bring the Messiah,
with the Geulah!
I hope you enjoyed this rhyme,
and while writing it, I had a good time.
n'eNow!!

What would it be like to wake up and
Moshiach is here?
Chayala Cohen, age 9

One morning I would wake up,
And hear the Shofar very clear,
So I would jump out of bed,
With the greatest fear.
I would ask my mom if she heard it too,
And so she would know that it’s really true;
That Moshiach is here finally,
And Hashem can take us to Geula very speedily!

Moshiach
Raiza Schein, age 12

We're still in Golus as I go to bed
Wishing that we're in Eretz Yisroel instead
Thinking about seeing the Beis Hamikdosh and it's glory
Then I realize I'm just telling a fantasy story
As I say Shema I beg Hashem for that story to come true
So we could hear that blast of Shofar that would come right on cue
I fall asleep by thinking of about the Karbanos we could bring
And about the Leviim that would sing

I open my eyes to the sound of dancing
Dogs were barking, cats purring, horses prancing
It was the sound of happiness galore,
I stared unbelieving by my door.
Behold, the wings of an eagle,
Everything so perfect, so regal
The truth suddenly sinks in, so,
I raise my eyes to Hashem and cry

Hodu L'Hashem Ki Tov, Ki L'Olam Chasdo!

What would it be like to wake up and
Moshiach is here?
Mira Samuels, age 9

It was recess, my friends were playing a game
That second I wanted Moshiach, so I decided to go to dreamland
I dreamt that Moshiach was here
And no one had any fear
All the lessons in school were clear
Everyone was able to to see, talk, breath, hear, and smell
Nobody fell
Everybody was nice and no one was mean
Nobody thought they were the class queen
People weren't poor anymore
We saw Tzaddikim from generations before
We saw the Avos (Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov) and Moshe Rabbeinu too
Just to name a few
The Rebbe leading
His holy face beaming
No one needed stitches or got a burn or anything like that
Then I heard a sound
Which made me jump up and down
It was the sould of the Shofar blowing to say
That Mashiach came today, and is going to stay!
Then someone tapped my hand
Moshiach wasn't here, I was just in dreamland
It was the reccess bell saying recess was coming to an end
I wasn't Moshiach, our friend
Sadly I wank to my desk, waiting for my teacher to come to class
I wanted Moshiach to come, and fast!
So continue doing mitzvos, and learning Torah & with the blink of an eye
Moshiach's going to come, so don't lose hope, and give it a try!

What would it be like to wake up and
Moshiach is here?
Ruta Cohen, age 11

I would wake up;
Not to the sound of the alarm,
No, no!
But to the sound of the Shofar,
Loud and clear.
And after saying Modeh Ani,
I ask myself and realize with glee,
Is Moshiach really here?
Could this really be?
Is this why I woke up so very happy?
And now we hope,
To this very day,
That Hashem will bring Moshiach…
TODAY!

Moshiach Poem
Chaya Posner, age 13

When will come the day when the world will be full of light when will come the day when there will be not one fight
the day that the poor will be wealthy
the day that the sick will be healthy
the day that there will be peace between all the nations
the day that gone will be all frustrations
the time is here the time is now
its been too long, moshiach now!!

Moshiach
Michal Leibowitz, age 10

When Moshioch comes what will you do? Will you laugh or cry or sneeze? “Achoo!!” Will you dance in a circle all dressed up in purple? Or sing a cheery song.  Will you stay in bed shaking your head? Or saying, “this cannot be true!” These things we might do but we SHOULD DO is stand up and thank Hashem. And thank him again and again and again for making our dream come true. And then we should run out into the sun and shout “see here see here Moshiach is here.” And then all the tears the laughs and the sneezes will interrupt your happy speeches. And you might break down into a little frown. But that’s okay cause today is the day when all your dreams will come true.

Mashiach Poem
Sophie Lichtman, age 10

Moshiach is here at last
can't you hear the shofar blast?

We all are flyin to Yerushaliam
some people are so happy they're even cryin!

The Beis Hamigdash will be built anew
A source of pride for every Jew.

Our Forefathers we will see
how happy everyone will be!

No more unkosher places
smiles on everyone's faces.

The more mitzvos we do in every way
the closer we get to Moshiach Day!!!
