The book BESURAS HAGEULO - The announcement of the Redemption is a collection of excerpts of the talks of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach shlita. These excerpts, which contain the Rebbe's pronouncement that "The time for your Redemption has arrived" and that "Behold Moshiach is coming," represent some of the most riveting statements made over the last few years (5750-5752 [1990-1992]), and have been edited by the Rebbe personally, with the special request that they be publicized throughout the world.
By popular demand, we are now making this work available in English. Translated by Rabbi Yisroel Heschel Greenberg and edited by Dr. Dovid Kaufman, it will G-d willing appear initially in installment form.
The publication of the first installment coincides with the festival of Shavuos, the time when we re-experience the sound of the Shofar of the Revelation of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is our fervent wish that we will imminently realize the Shofar of Moshiach - with the immediate and complete Redemption, at which time we will hear the Torah Chadashah, the new dimensions of Torah from the mouth of Moshiach. Amen.
