'''The only Shlichus''' that rests upon each and every one of our generation is to receive Moshiach Tzidkeinu (our righteous Messiah). This was established by the Rebbe in the last (for now) talk given at the International Conference of Shluchim (emissaries) on Shabbat Parshat Chayei Sarah 5752 (1991): "The only thing that remains in the work of shlichus (Shlichus) - receiving Moshiach Tzidkeinu in actual reality." These words were said by him during the Shabbat farbrengen (gathering) in the presence of all the shluchim, and after Shabbat they were edited by him and printed in a special booklet called "Shelach Na B'yad Tishlach" (Please send by the hand of whom You will send), which is studied anew each year by thousands of shluchim throughout the entire world.

Following the Rebbe's talks beginning from the month of Iyar 5751 (1991) that in our generation there is a new task to bring Moshiach in actual reality to the world visibly, and that every aspect of a Jew's life needs to be permeated with matters of Moshiach and redemption, the Rebbe announced the innovation that has been added to the work of shlichus – that its purpose is also to bring this message to the world 'to receive Moshiach,' and that this Shlichus 'permeates' and is felt in all aspects of shlichus, and it is the "gateway" through which all other actions of the Shlichus pass and are elevated:<blockquote>"...We must remind, first and foremost, of the foundation, and express the role of the shluchim in this generation in general, and particularly the innovation that has been added especially in recent times to the work of shlichus - to receive Moshiach Tzidkeinu in the true and complete redemption...</blockquote><blockquote>...From time to time, an innovation is added to the shlichus, a special Shlichus, which permeates all aspects of the shlichus and becomes the "gateway" through which all aspects of the shlichus "ascend"... which is a general and essential innovation, not just a detail (or general principle) in shlichus, but it is the most essential and general matter, to the extent that it is the most general matter in Torah - preparation for the coming of Moshiach - which encompasses all the points and details of the work of shlichus... Thus, the work and shlichus now is: to be prepared in actuality to receive Moshiach Tzidkeinu in actual reality... From this it is understood that the purpose of the current International Conference of Shluchim is expressed in this point - to discuss together and make good resolutions to fulfill them in practice, how to carry out the special shlichus of our time: receiving Moshiach Tzidkeinu."</blockquote>

In the body of the talk, the Rebbe explained the reason why specifically at this time shlichus takes on this revealed character - the events in the world showing that the entire world is ready for the true and complete redemption through Moshiach Tzidkeinu, and these are his holy words in the talk that was edited by him:<blockquote>"...As we see (as discussed several times) also in the fact that in world events several signs of the redemption have been fulfilled, beginning with the sign (in Yalkut Shimoni) that "the time of your redemption has arrived," as seen in "kingdoms provoking each other," particularly Arab countries... And the sign of the previous year - 5751, whose initials stand for 'It will be a year of wonders I will show you,' is already being fulfilled and continuing - with the addition this year - 'It will be a year of wonders in it,' (and) within it - that this (the wonders) becomes the essence and content and soul of the year.


And we see in actuality how "he will fight the wars of Hashem" and be victorious in several matters - and specifically through a war of peace. And victory is also related to eternity (nitzchiyut), also connected with revelation... the revelation of Moshiach Tzidkeinu..."</blockquote>Thousands of shluchim in a group photo in front of 770 during the International Conference of Shluchim 5754 (1993), two years after the delivery of the talk in 5752 (1991)

Therefore, the Rebbe said, it is understood that we have already completed the regular shlichus. But since the redemption has not yet come in actuality, it is a sign that there is still something to do in the shlichus. And the Rebbe detailed:<blockquote>"...And it is: based on what is known that "in every generation someone is born from the seed of Judah who is fit to be Moshiach for Israel," "one who is worthy due to his righteousness to be the redeemer, and when the time comes, Hashem will reveal Himself to him and send him, etc.," and according to the announcement of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, the leader of our generation, the only shliach in our generation, the only Moshiach in our generation, that they have already completed all the work - it is understood that "Please send by the hand of whom You will send" begins to be fulfilled, the Shlichus of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe. And from this it is understood that the only thing that remains now in the work of shlichus is: '''to receive Moshiach Tzidkeinu in actual reality''', so that he can fulfill his Shlichus in actuality and take all of Israel out of exile!"</blockquote>
