Forword
We are pleased to bring you a newly revised edition of HaMaaseh Hu HaIkar – All to Action. This selection is a preview of a book that we are in the process of bringing to publication. Translated from its Hebrew counterpart, HaMaaseh Hu HaIkar, this presentation is a collection of practical instruction pertaining to our bolstered ability and paralleled obligations, surrounding the 7th of Adar and the period between Purim and Pesach.
HaMaaseh Hu HaIkar is a compilation of Hora'os (directives) culled from the Rebbe's talks in the years 5747 to 5748 (1987–1988), from both edited and unedited sources (Muga and Bilti Muga). The text was translated into English by Rabbi Yaakov Paley and edited by Rochel Chana Riven.
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 this take place completely and immediately.
