What made the Rebbe a defining leader of our time. Rabbi Joseph Telushkin reflects on the inspiration behind his book about the Rebbe and examines what positioned the Lubavitcher Rebbe as one of the most remarkable Jewish leaders in modern history. Drawing from personal family connections to Chabad and decades of careful observation, Telushkin delves into the Rebbe's mission to connect with every Jew through unconditional love, and explores the extraordinary phenomenon of a movement that continued to flourish and expand even after its leader was gone. Telushkin also provides thoughtful insights on the current climate on college campuses and the rise of antisemitism, while addressing the complex issue of messianism within the Chabad movement.
