Overview

• Meshech Chochmah’s pregnancy metaphor portrays geulah as a multi-stage process unfolding in hidden but real phases
• The Talmud Yerushalmi’s view that the four Seder cups represent four actual redemptions is highlighted to underscore tangible geulot
• Present-tense language in the Amidah blessing “who redeems Israel” is linked to everyday salvations like thwarted attacks and safe homecomings
• This incremental geulah framework has been incorporated into liturgies for the Seven Weeks of Comfort and preparatory practices in Elul
• Worshippers are urged to record and express gratitude for daily miracles as concrete markers on the path to ultimate geulah
