	Jewish Messiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The predominant Jewish understanding of moshiach ("the messiah") is based on the writings of Maimonides, (the Rambam).
		His views on the messiah are discussed in his Mishneh Torah, his 14 volume compendium of Jewish law, in the section Hilkhot Melakhim Umilchamoteihem, chapter 11.
