A reporter asked the Rebbe if the Rebbe has a message to give over to the readers of his paper.

Rebbe: Write about the coming of Moshiach.
Reporter: When is he coming?

Rebbe: Write about the preparations for his arrival.
Reporter: But when is he coming?

Rebbe: When will he come - that is up to him to decide, however what each of us has to do, is to add in Inyonei Torah & Mitzvos and this will hasten his arrival, and Hashem should bless you.(24 Av 5751)
