Rabbi Moshe El Sheikh on Isaiah 53

Rabbi Moshe El Sheikh, chief Rabbi of Safead: "Our Rabbis with one voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet is speaking of the King Messiah and we shall ourselves also adhere to the same view."
The great Jewish educator, Herz Homberg )1749-1841) "According to the opinion of Rashi and Ibn Ezra it relates to Israel at the end of their captivity. But if so, what can be the meaning of the passage. 'He was wounded for our transgressions?' Who was wounded? Who are the transgressors? Who carried out the sickness and bare the pain? The fact is that it refers to the King Messiah."
