What does the Rebbe teach about each person's role in bringing Moshiach?
The Rebbe teaches that each person has a role in bringing Moshiach by engaging in "orderly proper conduct in all matters" such as observing mitzvot, studying Torah, and acquiring good character traits [1]. Every individual is expected to contribute to this effort, using their unique abilities, whether through writing, oratory, or wealth [5]. The Previous Rebbe referred to his students as "lamps to illuminate," implying that they, and by extension, all individuals, have a responsibility to spread light and goodness [2]. By strengthening and spreading Jewish observance, each person fulfills their personal obligation and helps bring about the coming of Moshiach [4].
