This short work describes the importance of actively awaiting the coming of the Messiah every day, and doing everything in one's power to hasten the redemption. Also discussed is the importance of studying the sacrificial laws that will be applicable in the future era. It was authored by the Chafetz Chaim, who was known to speak frequently about this subject. The title is based on a passage in Tractate Shabbat, which states that one of the questions posed by the heavenly court to every soul after completing life on earth is: "Tzipita L'Yeshuah — Have you yearned for the final redemption?"
