Cosmic questions such as the purpose of exile, the role of the individual Jew
in ending it, and the indicators of the Redemption in our generation, are
illuminated in this outstanding compilation by rich chassidic insights.
This skillfully constructed work was undertaken in response to a call by the
revered Lubavitcher Rebbe, that Jews everywhere escalate the process of
Redemption by (among other things) studying subjects related to the coming of
Mashiach, in both the legal and the mystical dimensions of the Torah.
Accordingly, the reader is here provided with a masterly translation of
classic teachings on these subjects by the Rebbe and by earlier leaders of the
Chabad-Lubavitch chassidic movement. For both the mind and the soul, this
eminently readable anthology is a veritable feast.
