Clear and unambiguous like that long-awaited clarion call, this book gives documented answers to many of today's most frequently-asked questions. Its essays on the imminence of the Redemption are adapted from addresses (1991-92) of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

The ultimate Redemption to be brought through Mashiach, the anointed Redeemer of Israel, is not an abstract, theoretical construct, but a practical matter of immediate relevance. This book enables the reader to yearn for the coming of Mashiach with an informed mind and a responsive soul.
