The most recent innovation in the work of shlichus is: to receive our righteous Moshiach in the true and complete Redemption. Indeed, the preparation for the coming of our righteous Moshiach is the most all encompassing aspect of Judaism and includes all the other points and details of the work of shlichus.
As has already been said many times, according to the declaration of our Sages of blessed memory "all the appointed times have passed." According to my sainted father-in-law, the leader of our generation, that teshuvah has already been done, to the extent that all aspects of Divine service have already been completed (even "polishing the buttons"), and we therefore stand ready to greet our righteous Moshiach. The work of shlichus must be to prepare in reality to actually greet our righteous Moshiach.
Thus the goal of today's international convention of shluchim is: to produce good resolutions of how to accomplish the special shlichus of these times: greeting our righteous Moshiach.
...It was already mentioned earlier that my sainted father-in-law, the leader of our generation, had declared that already all aspects of Divine service have already ended and we stand prepared ("stand all of you prepared") to greet our righteous Moshiach.
In our days we have completed all the requisite actions and Divine service, in all the details symbolized by the "hundred years," the "twenty years," and the "seven years" associated with the age of the Matriarch Sarah's passing, years which like Sarah's were all equally good.
This is consistent with the words of my sainted father-in-law, the leader of our generation, that we have already polished the buttons and we therefore stand ready to receive our righteous Moshiach.
More particularly, since then several decades have elapsed, during which time the Jewish people have cried out "ad mosai - how long must we remain in exile!" (which must also have a limit)
May it thus be G-d's Will -- that the true and complete Redemption, through our righteous Moshiach, will occur immediately.
