Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi
A BiographyBy Rabbi Nissan Mindel
(301 Pages)Publisher: Kehot, 2002
Few luminaries in Jewish history, particularly in modern times, have made such a lasting and profound contribution to our spiritual heritage as Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe (1745-1812). His works, including the Shulchan Aruch and the Tanya, embrace the entire spectrum of Jewish thought mysticism, philosophy, ethics and law and represent an expression of unparalleled creative genius.
This richly detailed biography traces Rabbi Schneur Zalman's life from his childhood and formative years to his trials and triumph as a leader who revolutionized Jewish life. It reveals many hitherto unknown facts, and offers the reader considerable insight into his extraordinary strength of character. Vilified by many of his contemporaries and arrested by the Czar, Rabbi Schneur Zalman emerged victorious; today his teachings continue to inspire and vitalize Jewish life all over the world.
This biography should be of interest not only to the student of Jewish history, but also to the contemporary lay reader who has often asked: What is it that moves and motivates the Lubavitch movement, in their dynamic activity to revitalize Jewish life in all parts of the world.
