The Rebbe has declared to the Jewish people:

“The time for your redemption
has arrived!”

The Rebbe has informed us that Moshiach will bring the final redemption very soon. Thus, everyone should prepare themselves to greet him through increasing in study of Torah, concentration in prayer, and performance of Mitzvos.

In particular, the Rebbe has called for:

*Teshuva (repentance);
*acts of random loving-kindness to a fellow Jew;
*material and spiritual charity;
*study and dissemination of Chassidus;
*study and dissemination of topics related to Moshiach and the redemption;
*earnestly praying for the coming of Moshiach;
*and promoting the observance of the Noahide Code amongst non-Jews.
