After a silence settled in the room, the rabbi looked into the eyes of the young man and asked, "If I bless you with a complete recovery and you are able to stand on your feet, would you be willing to accept the yoke of the commandments?"

The Rebbe defined Baba Sali's special strength and role with the words: "The duty of the hour is to conquer, with a strong hand, the entire younger generation," a phrase that illustrates the messianic power attributed by the Rebbe to Baba Sali, since one of the missions of the Mashiach is “to compel all Israel to follow [the way of the Torah] and rectify the breaches in its observance….” 1 Joyful Coercion Regarding the Baba Sali, the expression “to conquer with a strong hand” opens a door to an interesting fact: In the modern world, the concept of religious coercion has become a negative term, far removed from the freedom preached and educated in the West.
