WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION

14. […] The Shabbos following the time of Mattan Torah, Parshas Naso, of the year [5751] “Ar’enu Niflaos – I will show you wonders” is the most appropriate and auspicious time for the revelation of “A new Torah shall emerge from Me.” Thus, it is now incumbent upon us to prepare for (a foretaste and preview of, as well as the means to bring about) the fulfillment of the promise, “A new Torah shall emerge from Me.”
Simply speaking this preparation entails renewing and increasing Torah study, with enthusiasm and enjoyment, reaffirming one’s commitment to Torah study, to the point that he discovers novel insights in Torah. Indeed, it is known that “all Jews are capable of revealing the depths of [the Torah’s] wisdom and innovating new insights in Torah – in Agados and in both the revealed and esoteric dimensions of the Torah – appropriate to the root of his soul. In fact, he is obligated to do so. Moreover, it is not enough that one’s rededication to Torah study pertains to himself; he should also inspire others – [as we are enjoined] “accumulate many students.” This especially includes a renewal and addition in the study and dissemination of the inner dimension of the Torah, which has been illuminated by the teachings of Chassidus. These teachings resemble and are an expression of the “foretaste” of the teachings of Moshiach (“those who taste of it have merited life”). Indeed, learning and spreading the teachings of Chassidus spurs on, speeds up, and brings about the advent of Dovid Malka Meshicha.
It is very appropriate and proper that each and every person should accept upon himself – in addition to the reading of Pirkei Avos (“words of piety”) all the Shabbasos throughout the summer – in depth study of (at least) one Mishna [of Pirkei Avos], with the commentaries on the Mishna, each at his own level.
15. May it be G-d’s will that by speaking about this and by accepting positive resolutions in these matters, we shall immediately behold the revelation of “A new Torah shall emerge from Me,” with the true and complete redemption through Moshiach Tzidkeinu.
And “Moshe (who “received the Torah at Mount Sinai”) and Aharon (who will light the Menora in the Beis HaMikdash) will be among them [i.e., those who return to Eretz Yisroel in the Messianic Era].” In fact, the Baal Shem Tov and all the Rebbes, the N’siim, will be with them too, including my revered father in-law, the Rebbe [Rayatz]. They will all go Eretz Yisroel along with all the righteous Jews and the leaders of the Jewish people, as well as all Jews of the preceding generations (“Your nation is entirely righteous”), for “those who dwell in the dust will get up and sing,” together with all the Jewish people of this generation, [living people] souls in bodies, without any interruption [of loss of life] in between.
All Jews together shall hear “A new Torah shall emerge from Me,” in our Holy Land, in Yerushalayim the Holy City, on the Holy Mountain, in the Beis HaMikdash, and in the Kodesh HaKadoshim – “from upon the Kapores, which is upon the Aron HaEidus, from between the two Kruvim.”
Furthermore, and this is the main thing, it shall happen immediately – “MiYaD” being an acronym for Moshe, Yisroel (the Baal Shem Tov, “when you shall spread your wellsprings outward, Master [i.e., Moshiach] will come”), Dovid Malka Meshicha, meant in the actual, literal sense, tangibly, beneath ten handbreadths, mamash, mamash.
