~~{{Expand section}}~~

The Rebbe ~~[[Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson]]~~ said in a sicha (public discourse) that there were great Jewish leaders who gave themselves over — risked their very lives — in an effort to hasten the coming of the Redemption, and he mentioned "Rabbi Yosef Della Reina and others. And some say, the Seer of Lublin."<ref>''Sha'arei Ge'ulah, HaEmunah V'HaTzipiyah'', 5752 edition, vol. 1, p. 274, note 1.</ref>

During the Napoleonic Wars, as Napoleon's armies clashed with the Czar's forces in Russia, the longing for the coming of Mashiach burned with great intensity throughout the Jewish world. When Napoleon's army was defeated in 5574 (1814), many believed the moment of the ultimate Redemption was at hand.
