Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein stated the following:

The Rambam says that any Jewish person who wants Moshiach because someone died and they want them to come back to life etc. other than wanting G-d to be revealed is called an apikores...

The Shebulei HaLeket says that all the Jewish people who are not waiting for Moshiach - even though they happen to be alive when Moshiach comes, they will not be able to see Moshiach come. They will die...

1) Where does the Rambam say this?

2) Where does the Shebulei HaLeket say this?

  • @ChiddusheiTorah I included a link. Do you mean a translation?

  • @ChiddusheiTorah ok first here's the context: he's quoting his brother R. Binyomin's explanation of the statement of Chazal that whoever doesn't mourn on Tisha Bav will not see Jerusalem in its future happy (restored post-messianic) state. And here's the quote: "whoever doesn't mourn on it is not fit to see it's consolation, even if he will be alive when the geulah comes, and he will be written in the group of the reshaim who do not believe and are not fit for the redemption, as we find by [the redemption from] Egypt that all those who did not believe in the geulah died during the three days

  • @ChiddusheiTorah of darkness." It should be noted, however, that "emunah" in this context may not mean "belief".
