Editing Rabbi Shmuel Menachem Mendel Butman (section)

== Chairman of the World Headquarters for Bringing Moshiach ==
The World Headquarters for Bringing Moshiach, led by Rabbi Butman, was established in 1991, as a global headquarters to coordinate activities for bringing Moshiach in the world. The headquarters was located in Crown Heights and a central part of its activities and meetings took place at 770 - Chabad World Center.

On 3 Iyar 1991, following the famous sicha of 28 Nissan, several mashpiim, shluchim and askanim from Anash gathered and decided to establish a Moshiach headquarters. Rabbi Shmuel Menachem Mendel Butman was elected as chairman. The following were elected as headquarters members: Rabbi Moshe Slonim, Rabbi Nachum Yitzchak Pinson. The headquarters' plans were outlined and it was decided to hold an urgent meeting at 770 the next day regarding the headquarters' activities - a meeting that was later defined as the 'founding meeting'. All this was written in a report to the Rebbe signed by Rabbi Gershon Mendel Grelick, Rabbi David Nachshon and Rabbi Shmuel Menachem Mendel Butman, with the Rebbe's title written as "K"K Admor Shlita Melech HaMoshiach" and in the center of the second page appeared the text: "Yechi HaMelech K"K Admor Shlita Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed". The Rebbe responded to the report: "All attached here was taken to the Tziyun".

A significant activist and supporter of the headquarters' activities was the chairman's son, Rabbi Zev Wolf (Velvel) Butman.

The headquarters operated mainly between 1991-1994 when some of its activists and supporters continued to operate independently.
