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.
