The inspiring story of the prominent yet deeply modest leader who rebuilt a dwindling post-Holocaust community into the most influential Jewish organization in the world, the late Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson. From a small synagogue In Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the late Rebbe Schneerson impacted the policies of U.S. presidents and politicians, counselled some of our greatest thinkers, and spread his teachings of love and righteousness to the far corners of the world. An ambassador for Jews globally, his role was unprecedented within a fragmented religion, comprised of diverse, often divided, sects. Many Jews especially those involved in Chabad believed that the Rebbe was the messiah while he was still alive. Drawn from the Rebbe s private correspondence, Rebbe is a rich and illuminating portrait of this remarkable man who was a devoted spiritual leader and tireless counsellor; controversial advocate for women s rights and community openness; and an accomplished scholar fluent in dozens of languages. Joseph Telushkin illuminates the Rebbe s rich private life and chronicles his achievements, from his close bond with his congregants to his influence on presidents, including Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Throughout, Telushkin pays tribute to the Rebbe s legacy his teachings, of love, education, and respect which have become engrained in millions of Jews and non-Jews alike.

From the Back Cover:

Highly motivational, Rebbe is the definitive work on a monumental and multifaceted leader, written by one of today's most prominent and respected Jewish scholars.

Joseph Telushkin offers a captivating portrait of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whose profound spiritual and moral teachings galvanized people of all faiths to lead more meaningful and selfless lives.

From a modest synagogue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the Rebbe spearheaded a spiritual revolution, influenced American and Israeli policies, counseled some of our greatest thinkers and statesmen, and spread his message of unconditional love and righteousness to the far corners of the world.

At once an incisive work of history and a compendium of Rabbi Schneerson's teachings, Rebbe examines the personal side of this towering sage, while exploring in depth his achievements, core philosophy, and revolutionary initiatives, which remain as vibrant and vital as ever.

Rebbe is the authoritative guide to understanding one of the most intriguing figures of the last century, and an indispensable tool to applying his philosophies and example to one's own life.
