Editing Besuras HaGeulah

The book '''Besuras HaGeulah''' (The Announcement of Redemption) collects 71 special excerpts from the Rebbe's talks from the years 5751-5752 (1991-1992). Their common theme is the Rebbe's announcement of redemption to the Jewish people of our generation - that the redemption will come and "behold, he (the King Moshiach) is coming, and has already come" - and primarily focuses on excerpts about the special qualities of our current era as well as practical instructions.

== About the Book ==
The book summarizes and broadly reviews the Rebbe's teachings on the topic of Moshiach's coming and related matters. It provides the student with a broad perspective and "assembles" a complete picture, from which one can discern the changes, innovations, and developmental process of the redemption announcement delivered by the Rebbe at 770, starting from Elul 5750 (1990) until the days before 27 Adar 5752 (1992).

This book is the first publication by Kehot (the Chabad publishing house) that received the Rebbe's consent to explicitly write the title "Melech HaMoshiach" (King Messiah) in reference to the Rebbe. This title appears several times in the book's introduction. Since then, the Rebbe instructed Kehot Publications to write this title on all books.

Originally, the book was published with many sections in Yiddish; in later editions, these sections were translated into Hebrew.

The book was edited by Rabbi Shmuel Chaim Bluming, a teacher at Tomchei Temimim Oholei Torah in Crown Heights, and was published by the Vaad L'Hafatzas Sichos (Committee for Disseminating the Rebbe's Talks).

Over the years, the book has been translated into English, and in 5781 (2021), it was translated into Spanish by Rabbi Moshe Blumenfeld, director of the 'L'oded' Center in Argentina.

In 5782 (2022), the book was printed in a special Braille edition.

The book was also published with explanations adapted for children by the Tzivos Hashem youth movement in Israel.

At 770 and in many Chabad yeshivas, there is a daily study session of the book.
