Sometimes - a challenge.
A large group of Jews cry "אתחלתא דגאולה"!!!!!!!!!! The redemption is beginning!
Another large group of Jews respond "NONSENSE!! It is "עקבתא דמשיחא" - The footsteps of the Moshiach. The Chofetz Chaim insisted, they say, that we are at the cusp of the redemption. If this was so a hundred years ago - how much closer we are today. So don't say that it is "אתחלתא דגאולה".
Oh.
