Turning Judaism Outward – Soft Cover
A Biography of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, took an insular Chasidic group that was almost decimated by the Holocaust and transformed it into one of the most influential and controversial forces in world Jewry. This superbly crafted biography draws on recently uncovered documents and archives of personal correspondence, painting an exceptionally human and charming portrait of a man who was well known but little understood. With a sharp attention to detail and an effortless style, Chaim Miller takes us on a soaring journey through the life, mind and struggles of one of the most interesting religious personalities of the Twentieth Century.
“A riveting biography… this will prove to be a fascinating read even for those distant from Chabad or who knew little about this dominant figure in Jewish life.”
-Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
