The impassioned sicha that the Rebbe said on 28 Nissan, 5751 is forever embedded in the memories of those who were there. On that occasion, the Rebbe famously said that he had done all that he could to bring Moshiach and now the mission is for us Chassidim to complete.
Following this shocking sicha, Tzach (Lubavitch Youth Organization) published a kuntres with selections from sichas the Rebbe had previously spoken about Moshiach as well as passages from the Zohar, Yalkut Shimoni, and Rambam on the topic.
It begins with a sicha from 7 Cheshvan 5746 when the Rebbe quoted the words of the Chid”a “who was a posek and a kabbalist, often quoted by later halachic authorities and teachers of kabbalah” who stressed the need to demand for Moshiach and explained how the hope in Moshiach hastens his arrival. After quoting similar teachings from the Rada”k, the Rebbe suggested that those who raised questions about the idea of demanding for Moshiach probably are not aware of these teachings and they should therefore be publicized for all to see.
Following this, the kuntres includes an excerpt from the Yalkut Shimoni where the events of Moshiach are described in detail as well as a few halachos from the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah where the Rambam similarly describes how the events of Moshiach will unfold.
The kuntres concludes with a part of the sicha from 28 Nissan.
Being that today is 28 Nissan, it is appropriate to learn the kuntres and redouble our efforts to bring Moshiach now.
