Like his father and uncle, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky is considered one of the greatest scholars of our generation, and thousands of people each week, in person and through the mail, seek his blessing, halachic guidence, and personal advice.
One report is that Saturday, September 12, 2015 has been named as the arrival of the Moshiach, said Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky in Israel. This happens to be the end of the sabbatical year.
This happens to be an important event, ending a period where every 7 years, the soil is not worked, but gets to rest. Any crops in the 7th year or year of release are communal property. The year following 7 fallow years is the 50th year or the Jubilee when cultivation is also prohibited, slaves are freed, and land reverts to its original owner. (7 X 7=49. 49 +1=50th year. ) In Hebrew the word is shemittah, meaning "fallow." The next "Shemitah" or "Biblical Sabbatical Year" runs from:
Right now he is urging Jews to return to Israel before his arrival. With all the attacks of anti-Semitism in France which caused 7,000 French Jews to make aliyah last year, he feels the arrival of the Moshiach is imminent. 3,000 more are expected to arrive throughout this summer. Parents want to arrive before school starts to let their children settle in first. Evidently they don't see the situation improving.
The rabbi is from a very religious section in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak. He was born January 8, 1928 in Pinsk, Russia to a well known rabbi, Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, and is the father of 3 rabbis.
His area of expertise is that he is a posek, one that is an expert in the codification of the laws. Among his many published works are the laws of the Jewish Temple Rites. "His mind is encyclopedic. His advice is sought everywhere."
In Safed, Israel's Old City is the Joseph Caro Synagogue. He was the rabbi who wrote the Shulhan Arukh. Joseph Caro followed Alfasi, Maimonides and Asher ben Jehiel in their decisions. Moses Isserles added to this work supplementary notes giving the views of Ashkenazi scholars and incorporating their customs that were omitted by Caro. Ashkenazi Jews follow the former and and Sephardim the latter. Their codes have been combined and accepted as standard by all Orthodox Jews. Subsequent legal codifications have not found general acceptance, so it is interesting that Rabbi Kanievsky has made recent inroads. to this procedure. The role of the posek is found especially in haredi Judaism.
It may also be of interest that in the latest bible code deciphered, ISIS will be destroyed by 2016. That means the moshiach is to arrive first. I wonder if he will have anything to do with ISIS being destroyed? According to Rabbi Matiyahu Glazerson, an expert in the Bible Code, he is suggesting that IS will be destroyed by the messiah, the son of Joseph, called the Mashiach Ben Yosef. He is the predecessor of the Messiah, son of David, who is the real Messiah. " Ben David) is the ultimate redeemer of the Jewish people. Glazerson explained that Mashiach Ben Yosef “will fight the evil forces against Israel.”
One can disagree with a rabbi in such good standing without any repercussions. Harry Maryles did so on his website, and he had valid reasons. Harry felt that the rabbi's age meant that the rabbi was not in tune with certain things of this day and age such as computers or cell phones which makes certain rulings invalid. One cannot do such things in Iran where you have one Ayatollah who rules the whole state with an iron fist. There many are hung every day for their attitudes.
Then again, other rabbis in Israel also are zeroing in on the coming moshiach and expecting him soon. In 2013, "Rabbi Kaduri also added that few people in Israel will recognize the Moshiach by intuition: not well known rabbis will recognize the identity of the Moshiach, but there are only a few people who can recognize the ability to lead – without the ability to explain their recognition!
Rabbi Kaduri: when the Moshiach will be revealed, many people will be surprised and they will ask: "is he really the chosen Moshiach"?"

September 25, 2014 until… September 13, 2015.
Jerusalem was restored: the past 49 (7 X 7) prophetic years since 1967.
Leviticus 25 promises bountiful harvests to those who observe the Shemitah, and describes its observance as a test of religious faith.
The Hebrew people count and observe 7 year cycles. Every cycle would fulfill a "Sabbatical Year known as a "Shemitah" or "Shmitah" and means, "to release!"

- Vilna Gaon (1720–1797, Gra) was a posek. So was
- Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (1789–1866, Tzemach Tzedek)
- Yitzhak Yosef, Chief Sephardic Rabbi of the State of Israel, author of the set Yalkut Yosef
We have Haridi rabbis living in the USA telling their followers not to go to Israel. "So here goes perhaps the greatest Charedi Rabbi alive today named Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky who has declared clearly and unequivocally that is it’s a “Mitzvah Dioraita” meaning a biblically ordained commandment to ascend to the Land of Israel today!" How's that for a turnabout?

| Rabbi Kaduri was a renowned Mizrahi Haredi rabbi and kabbalist who devoted his life to Torah study and prayer on behalf of the Jewish people |
Rabbi Kaduri: when the Moshiach will be revealed, many people will be surprised and they will ask: "is he really the chosen Moshiach"?"
"Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri was known for his photographic memory and his memorization of the Bible, the Talmud, Rashi and other Jewish writings. He knew Jewish sages and celebrities of the last century and rabbis who lived in the Holy Land and kept the faith alive before the State of Israel was born. He lived to be 108, almost unheard of today. He's the rabbi some thought had said that Jesus was the moshiach, and that has since been found to be a false rumor. Rabbi Tovia Singer has examined the note and has found it to be a forgery. Kaduri would have never written such a note besides the fact of being done by someone else. What is happening is that Christians are using this as their proof. What the note is made up of are 6 words, and the first letter of each word spells out Yeshua. Interesting that one feels it would have to be a mystery answer within a note and be understood as a direct fact from a highly respected rabbi. Just watch Tovia Singer's video.
“When he comes, the Messiah will rescue Jerusalem from foreign religions that want to rule the city,” Kaduri once said. “They will not succeed for they will fight against one another.”
Update: Rabbi Kaduri's son and grandson do not believe that this note which has lain unopened and supposedly in a safe place was written by the well known Rabbi Kaduri since it goes against everything he has taught. Neither does Rabbi Tovia Singer. The note is a scrawled 6 word phrase which Christians are looking at and assuming there is the acronym, the taking of the first letter of each word, which spells out Yeshua-or Jesus. Right now, my answer is that it is one of 2 things, either the actual note the rabbi in clear mind, wrote and wanted to be read as an acronym for what reason we don't know, or--it's definitely a planted forgery meant to convince the Jewish people that Jesus is god and the savior of mankind--of which Jews have never felt the need for. My opinion is with Rabbi Tovia Singer for many reasons, and that being my own understanding of the messiah.
