520 In this enlightening biography, Joseph Telushkin offers a
captivating portrait of the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, a towering figure who saw beyond conventional
boundaries to turn his movement, Chabad-Lubavitch, into
one of the most dynamic and widespread organizations ever
seen in the Jewish world. At once an incisive work of
history and a compendium of Rabbi Schneerson's teachings,
Rebbe is the definitive guide to understanding one of the
most vital, intriguing figures of the last centuries. From
his modest headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the
Rebbe advised some of the world's greatest leaders and
shaped matters of state and society. Statesmen and artists
as diverse as Ronald Reagan, Robert F. Kennedy, Yitzchak
Rabin, Menachem Begin, Elie Wiesel, and Bob Dylan span the
spectrum of those who sought his counsel. The Rebbe was
the only rabbi ever to receive the Congressional Gold
Medal, and to have an American national day, Education and
Sharing Day, proclaimed in his honor. No one has succeeded
him in his position. Nevertheless, twenty years after his
death, his movement has doubled in size, spreading to more
than eighty countries, and his impact resonates still. But
what was the secret of the Rebbe's success and influence?
What principles of leadership guided him? And how did he
rally such extraordinary devotion and resolve? Rebbe
explores Schneerson's overarching philosophies against the
backdrop of treacherous history, revealing his clandestine
operations to rescue and sustain Jews in the Soviet Union,
and his critical role in the expansion of the food stamp
program throughout the United States. More broadly, it
examines how he became in effect an ambassador for Jews
globally, and how he came to be viewed by many as not only
a spiritual archetype but a savior. Telushkin also delves
deep into the more controversial aspects of the Rebbe's
leadership, analyzing his views on modern science and
territorial compromise in Israel, and how in the last
years of his life, many of his followers believed that he
would soon be revealed as the Messiah, a source of
contention until this day. Epic, intimate, and masterfully
told, Rebbe is the definitive work on a monumental and
multifaceted leader, written by one of today's most
prominent and respected Jewish scholars.
