Brooklyn born and bred, living and learning in Lakewood, R\u2019 Pinchos Doppelt sounds like your regular, run-of-the-mill kollel yungerman<\/em>. But R\u2019 Pinchos is far from regular. He\u2019s a man on a mission, and he is changing Klal Yisrael, one phone call at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Pinchos starts our conversation by exclaiming over the state of world affairs. Gas prices are doubling; Russia, Ukraine, and China are in crisis; and the world seems to be headed for disaster. It\u2019s a crazy world we live in, and R\u2019 Pinchos has made it his mission to wake Klal Yisrael up to the messages Hashem is sending. Hashem is ready to bring Mashiach, claims R\u2019 Pinchos, and our job is to be ready to greet him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He notes that Rav Chaim Kanievsky keeps saying, \u201cMashiach is at the door; we must bring him in.\u201d That\u2019s the tenet R\u2019 Pinchos lives by, and now he is sharing the wealth, raising awareness of this vital yet misunderstood topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be real\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Pinchos attributes much of his early inspiration about the topic to his grandfather R\u2019 Shmuel Gellis zt\u201dl<\/em>, who was constantly preparing himself to greet Mashiach and was a \u201creal\u201d Yid in every sense of the word. He remembers R\u2019 Yisroel Chaim Freidman zt\u201dl<\/em>\u2019s tears on Tishah B\u2019Av, which awakened something deep within him. In addition, Rav Raphael Paschkusz, R\u2019 Pinchos\u2019s ninth-grade rebbi<\/em>, was a tremendous role model during his formative years, teaching him through example the proper way to react to challenges and how to recognize Hashem\u2019s Hand in everything in life and attribute every event to our Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, R\u2019 Pinchos learns during the day and performs on the side as a one-man-band. In his line of work, like in everything else that he does, R\u2019 Pinchos lives by the motto \u201cLet\u2019s be real.\u201d Being real means being honest with oneself about their true hashkafos<\/em>, which is why he only plays songs with a real Yiddishe ta\u2019am<\/em>, keeping in tune with who we really are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarifying a misunderstood topic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How and when did R\u2019 Pinchos \u201cget into\u201d the inyan<\/em> of Mashiach?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very misunderstood topic,\u201d he shares. \u201cPeople are confused. They get mixed messages, which sometimes causes the whole topic to be pushed under the rug. People are afraid to hope because there have been so many occasions throughout history when we were so sure that the Geulah<\/em> was imminent, only to be disappointed. Other times, we forget that we are supposed to be in Yerushalayim, that America is not our true home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the catalyst that spurred him to take action for the klal <\/em>was Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI looked around at the world going crazy and at the people who were scared and confused. We needed direction. How should we understand what was going on? What did Hashem want from us? What did it all mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He saw a need and threw himself into the task, experiencing lots of siyata d\u2019Shmaya<\/em> along the way. To date, R\u2019 Pinchos has written and published around a dozen kuntreisim<\/em> on the subject of tzipisa l\u2019yeshuah<\/em> as part of a series titled Let\u2019s Be Real<\/em>. The pamphlets are distributed worldwide, and the feedback has been unbelievable, says R\u2019 Pinchos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have told me that it changed their lives. Now they have a direction\u2014a true Torah understanding of current events and a feeling of peace and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Pinchos consults many rabbanim<\/em> as he writes, in addition to hiring editors to review the manuscripts, to ensure that his work is as technically and hashkafically<\/em> sound as possible. Gedolim<\/em> such as Rav Shlomo Frankel of Flatbush, Rav Dovid Schustal, and Rav Yeruchem Olshin have given haskamos<\/em> to his work, allowing the kuntreisim<\/em> to earn the trust of the public so that his words, written from the heart, can penetrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing Every Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, R\u2019 Pinchos has turned his attention to a different, major undertaking\u2014his Growing Every Day hotline. He created the hotline for the purpose of enabling Yidden the world over to call in and hear words of inspiration and chizuk<\/em>, to gain clarity and direction in their avodas Hashem<\/em> during these turbulent times and be encouraged to prepare for Mashiach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is so much awareness today about emunah <\/em>and bitachon<\/em>,\u201d R\u2019 Pinchos notes. \u201cNow all we need to do is take the next step and connect it to Mashiach. Yes, Hashem loves us, and He is in control of everything. Now that we recognize that, don\u2019t we want to come home to Him? To serve Him the way He intended?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotline includes shiurim<\/em> by Rav Shlomo Baruch Alon on the halachos of tumah <\/em>and taharah<\/em>, a topic that is not widely studied today because sadly, it is not relevant without the Beis Hamikdash. But R\u2019 Pinchos feels that it is important to awaken the public to vital topics they were previously unaware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t pick and choose,\u201d he states. \u201cThe Chofetz Chaim spoke a lot about Mashiach, just as he did about shemiras halashon<\/em>. He wrote a sefer <\/em>on the topic called Tzipisa L\u2019yeshuah<\/em>. We should learn all<\/em> of the Chofetz Chaim\u2019s sefarim<\/em>. Can we imagine how the Chofetz Chaim would have been storming about Mashiach if he would have been living in our generation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main feature of the hotline is the powerful daily shiurim<\/em> given by Rav Moshe Sorotzkin, son of Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin and son-in-law of the mashgiach<\/em> Rav Matisyahu Salomon and author of The End Illuminated (Keitz Hayamim <\/em>and Keitz Hageulah<\/em>). His eye-opening drashos <\/em>bring awareness of the imminent arrival of Mashiach and help us to ready ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Pinchos first connected with Rav Sorotzkin last summer when, with the blessings of the Roshei Yeshivah, a group of about 100 yungeleit<\/em> from BMG got together and formed a chaburah<\/em> focused on being metzapeh l\u2019geulah<\/em>. They said Tikkun Chatzos<\/em> and heard daily shiurim<\/em> from gedolei Torah<\/em>, including Rav Moshe Sorotzkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Pinchos is constantly working to update the hotline and bring it to new levels. In less than two months, it has gained a following of approximately 600 callers a day, and the number keeps growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans for the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to ask a metzapeh l\u2019geulah<\/em> what their plans are for the future. They sincerely hope and believe that very soon they will be in Yerushalayim, on their way up to the Beis HaMikdash to bring a Korban Todah<\/em>, thanking Hashem for the miraculous Geulah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as future plans to inspire Klal Yisrael, though, R\u2019 Pinchos dreams of making an asifah<\/em>, similar to the technology asifah<\/em> in Citi Field, to raise awareness about readiness for Mashiach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople will feel calmer once they realize the reason behind everything going on around them,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019ll be more energized, with a purpose and a mission in their avodas Hashem<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But inspiration is not enough. \u201cIt wears off,\u201d R\u2019 Pinchos claims. \u201cAfter the initial asifah<\/em>, I want to make a huge asifah<\/em> for rabbanim<\/em> and rebbe\u2019im<\/em> to inspire and educate them so that they can go on and continue to inspire their classes and kehillos<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hearts full of anticipation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chazal say that Mashiach could come today, right now, if we are waiting for his malchus<\/em> and do teshuvah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past two years, the world was flooded with messages. However, many people are not familiar with the words of Chazal, some of which are well-known while others are not. Rav Moshe Sorotzkin\u2019s shiurim <\/em>imbue its listeners with a realization that we can jump onto the boat and take to heart the messages Hashem has been sending us. They provide clarity about current events like the fact that we might be on the brink of another World War, chas v\u2019shalom<\/em>, and the out-of-control inflation that Chazal say will precede the final geulah<\/em>, allowing listeners to see world events through a Torah lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists have recently discovered that the Earth pulsates regularly. How regularly? Once every 26 seconds. Twenty-six is the gematria <\/em>of Hashem\u2019s Name, the Shem Havayah<\/em>. Chazal say that in the time of Mashiach, there will be a new havayah<\/em>\u2014the world will be born anew, into a totally different existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s up to us. That\u2019s the message R\u2019 Pinchos is working so tirelessly to spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to have a deeper appreciation of current events as well as daily inspiration, you can tune in to Rav Moshe Sorotzkin\u2019s shiurim<\/em> at 848-777-GROW (4769). Let\u2019s be zocheh<\/em> to greet Mashiach with hearts full of anticipation because we will have prepared as much as we can, and we will be worthy of a geulah b\u2019rachamim<\/em>, amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
