We are pleased to bring you this newly revised and improved edition of a CALL to ACTION. This special edition covers all the highlights of the month of Elul, from Rosh Chodesh through Erev Rosh Hashanah.
Translated from its Hebrew counterpart, HaMaaseh Hu HaIkar, this presentation is a collection of practical instruction from the Rebbe’s Sichos that pertain to the entire month of Elul and preparations for Tishrei.
HaMaaseh Hu HaIkar is a compilation of Hora’os (“directives”) culled from the Rebbe’s talks in the years 5748 to 5752 (1988-1992), from both edited and unedited sources (Muga and Bilti Muga); we have expended great effort in our attempt to capture some of the Rebbe’s calculated and instructive phrasing. This edition’s English translation was provided by Rabbi Yaakov Paley.
At this time, when Moshiach’s arrival is imminent, the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, has emphasized the primacy of action. We are now beginning to experience the era when we will fully appreciate ‘the superiority of deed’ above scholarship. May it happen now, completely and speedily!
