וי ואנט משיח נאו

The Rebbe explained that one reason we sing

We Want Moshiach Now in English (vs. Yiddish or Hebrew)

is so that the goyim (even an "Englishman") will hear and understand what we believe in and what we are praying for...

Also because נאו in gematria is equal to שם הוי''ה + א''ל *

* But I'd rather not get Rav Ari too nervous, so I'll leave that one out!

Too much of a good thing?
