Where Hakhel & Tisha B’av come together: Excerpts from Last Act the new novel from the Moshiach Office at Merkos 302 about the Churban and Rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash
“If only…to behold the king promised by Hashem through His Navi, a melech from zera Dovid, chosen by Him. No strife, no doubts, no incertitude.” These are Penina’s thoughts at a historic Hakhel Less than twenty years before Churban Bayis Sheini, as seen in Last Act, the historical fiction drama novel released by Tut Altz at Merkos 302.
Like the Jewish people today, she is dreaming about the perfect world of Moshiach.
This Tisha B’av, young readers (recommended for age 8+), and adults can join Penina in her experiences pre- and post-Churban, and yes, also in the future—in that world we are all anticipating, mamash now.
