The Rebbe Rashab once said: "Mashiach will come to wherever Chassidus is being studied."

So one of his chassidim asked: "Does the prophet not foretell that on the day that Mashiach appears, ’His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives’?!"

"That’s precisely what I said," replied the Rebbe, "for as you know, olive oil alludes to the mystical secrets of the Torah...."
