This document provides a summary of the history of 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. It describes how the building was purchased in 1900 to serve as a permanent home for the Rebbe and center of Chabad activities. Over the years, the Rebbe pushed for expansions to accommodate the growing crowds. Major expansions took place in the 1920s and 1950s. The Rebbe emphasized that the building's walls were infused with holiness from his predecessors spending time there.
This document is a newsletter focused on bringing Moshiach (the Messiah). It contains several short articles about Moshiach, including an adapted talk given by Rabbi Mendel Gordon about the Rebbe empowering Chassidim to bring Moshiach. The newsletter was prepared and printed by volunteers to inspire readers to increase their efforts to bring Moshiach through learning about redemption and Moshiach, and through the Rebbe's directives.
The document summarizes events in Crown Heights in the winter of 5752 leading up to Chof-Zayin Adar, when the Rebbe suffered his stroke. It describes how the Rebbe increasingly emphasized Moshiach and geulah in his teachings. In sichos in Gimmel Shvat and Mishpatim, the Rebbe connected current events to Moshiach's imminent revelation. The Rebbe also instructed increasing activities to bring Moshiach like printing more sichos on the topic. This prepared chassidim for the situation after 27 Adar and gave them the tools to continue working for geulah.
1) The Rebbe had a clear vision and plan from a young age to spread Chabad outreach all over the world, connected to a central source.
2) Over time, the Rebbe implemented this plan in stages - first establishing institutions in the 5710s, then expanding outreach through shluchim from the 5720s.
3) Each decade saw growth and changes in focus, such as increased activities in the 5730s and global outreach in the 5740s, all building toward the goal of bringing Moshiach.

MOSHIACH IN THE PARSHA
The purpose of Yitziyas Mitzrayim was to come to Matan
Torah, as it says, โYou shall take this nation out of Mitzrayim,
so that they can serve Hashem on this mountainโ. Since it is
known that Yitziyas Mitzrayim came about in the Zechus of
the righteous women of that generation, it therefore follows
that by Matan Torah as well, the women should precede the
men. This is why Hashem first told Moshe, โKoi Soimar LโVais
Yaakovโ, which refers to the women and only afterwards
added, โVโSagid LโVnei Yisroelโ, which refers to the men.
The future Geulah will also be in the merit of the righteous
women, as the Yalkut Shimoni states, โThe generations
will only be redeemed in merit of the righteous women of
that generation.โ Consequently they will hear the Torah of
Moshiach even before the men.

In honor of the fourth Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, Chof Beis Shevat 5752, the Rebbe was Magiah a Kuntres titled โBโcho
Yevarech Yisroelโ, which was a collection of Sichos the Rebbe said on Shabbos Parshas Yisro, Chof Shevat, and on the Sunday night
and on Monday of Chof Beis Shevat.
The name of the Kuntres โBโchoโ hints to the letters Chof Beis in connection to the day of Chof Beis Shevat. The Sichos speak about
the greatness of this day, and its lesson to increase in the main Avodah of our times, to bring Moshiach now. The Rebbe explained
that just like the generation of Mitzraim were redeemed in the Zechus of the nashim tzidkoniyos, the same will be in our generation.
The Rebbe finished off the Sicha with a Brocha that we should be redeemed in the Zechus of the nashim tzidkoniyos, and then
immediately, that it should happen immediately. - ืืืืื added in his own handwriting the word
When the body of a person will arise by Techias Hameisim, it will be in the same form as it was when he passed away. If he was
blind, or deaf, he will arise that way too. Hashem said, โLet them arise as they went, and I will heal them.โ
It will be the same concerning a personโs clothes; he will be wearing the same clothes that he had when he passed away. However,
there are two opinions about this. 1) He will arise with the clothes he was buried with, meaning the Tachrichim. 2) He will have
the clothes he was accustomed to wearing during his life.

The Torah tells us, โMoshe was humble from all the people on the face of the earthโ.
What caused Moshe Rabbeinu to be so humble? It is explained that Moshe Rabbeinu looked at the generation of โIkvasa
DโMshichah - the footsteps of Moshiachโ, and that caused him to be humble.
The specialty of this time of โIkvasa DโMshichahโ is the great strength displayed by the Yidden in their fulfillment of Mitzvos.
Notwithstanding the many setbacks and hardships of Golus, the Yidden stand strong in their belief and fulfill the Mitzvos properly.
Among the great setbacks in Golus is the many scoffers, even among Frum Yidden themselves. They laugh at Hashem, His Torah
and Mitzvos, and they even laugh at the belief in Moshiachโs imminent coming!
Itโs a natural thing to be embarrassed and discouraged by this scoffing, but no! The Yidden in this generation arenโt embarrassed
and arenโt affected. They stand strong in their Torah and Mitzvos. They stand strong in their belief that Moshiach will come, any
moment.
This is what caused Moshe Rabbeinu to be humble. Such darkness, yet such perseverance. Letโs not let Moshe Rabbeinu down!
Letโs not sell our belief in Moshiach due to a few jokes and a bit of embarrassment!

Once at a Farbrengen of the Rebbe Rashab, the Rebbe suddenly stood up and began to dance with the Temimim. Afterwards,
he sat down on his place and said:
โYehi Ratzon, that I should be Zoche to be seen, together with the Temimim, before Melech HaMoshiach. And then I will be
able to say โReu Gidulim Shegidaltiโ, โLook at what I have raised!โ
