Story5 out of 5 stars 300
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.

Memory as a character/plot
Reviewed: 03-17-17
In preparing for teaching about dementia, I found this book fascinating in its exploration of all the quandaries of losing one's memory. Mr Wisel explores what it means to be human in the face of suffering and how memory defines. Very intriguing but the plot does lag at times. More philosophical than an active storyline.

Story5 out of 5 stars 62
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.

I was inspired anew as a follower of the Rebbe. At times I was laughing, smiling, or crying as the Rebbe's words rang out to me.
