Editing Atchalta D'Geulah (Beginning of Redemption) (section)

'''Atchalta D'Geulah''' means the beginning of redemption. This term was widely used by Religious Zionism to define the establishment of the State of Israel and Jewish rule in the Land of Israel. The Rebbe opposes this view, since the State of Israel was not established on the basis of Torah and mitzvot, it cannot constitute the beginning of redemption. The Rebbe noted many times that the beginning of redemption according to halacha is only in the order established by the Rambam, which will first come through the Moshiach who is flesh and blood.
