22 Years to the Sicha – “Do All That You Can”

Today, Chof Ches Nissan marks 22 years to the Sicha the Rebbe said unexpectedly in 5751 after returning from the Ohel. With great pain the Rebbe said declared “that all that I have done… it is up to you to do all that you can to bring Moshiach down here…” AD MOSAI?!

Excerpt from the Sicha:

“Because of the unique stress on the Redemption in this time, an astonishing question arises: How is it possible that despite all these factors, Moshiach has not yet come? This is beyond all possible comprehension.

”It is also beyond comprehension that when ten (and many times ten) Jews gather together at a time that is appropriate for the Redemption to come, they do not raise a clamor great enough to cause Moshiach to come immediately. They are, heaven forbid, able to accept the possibility that Moshiach will not arrive tonight, and even that he will not arrive tomorrow, or on the day after tomorrow, heaven forbid.

“Even when people cry out `Ad mosai — Until when will we remain in exile?’ they do so only because they were told to. If they had sincere intent and earnest desire, and cried out in truth, Moshiach would surely have come already.

”What more can I do to motivate the entire Jewish people to clamor and cry out, and thus actually bring about the coming of Moshiach. All that has been done until now has been to no avail, for we are still in exile; moreover, we are in an inner exile in regard to our own service of G-d.

“All that I can possibly do is to give the matter over to you. Now, do everything you can to bring Moshiach, here and now, immediately.

”May it be G-d’s will that ultimately ten Jews will be found who are stubborn enough to resolve to secure G-d’s consent to actually bring about the true and ultimate Redemption, here and now immediately. Their stubborn resolve will surely evoke G-d’s favor, as reflected by the interpretation of the verse, `For they are a stiff necked people; You will pardon our sins and wrongdoings and make us Your possession.’

“I have done whatever I can; from now on, you must do whatever you can. May it be G-d’s will that there will be one, two, or three among you who will appreciate what needs to be done and how it needs to be done, and may you actually be successful and bring about the true and complete Redemption. May this take place immediately, in a spirit of happiness and gladness of heart.”

    if he is not here yet its a sign that we really need to do a better job teaching people about Moshiach and spreading the Rebbe’s message and prophecy.

  • To Number 1.

    The real message is that yes its great to teach oterhs but look at yourtself first! What can You improve in!?
    AD MOSAI?

  • TO NUMBER 2

    what you are saying is not a contradiction to number 1, however what number 1 is saying is in fact the real message. as the Rebbe spoke on the following shabbos that the derech hayeshara is the study of topics of moshiach and redemption barabim (in public).
