The Heroic Struggle
Author: Joseph Isaac Schneersohn
Publisher: Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
Recounts the 1927 arrest and imprisonment of the sixth Habad-Lubavitcher Rebbe, Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn, by Soviet authorities, based mainly on his autobiographical notes and supplemented by other sources. Relates how Schneersohn remained steadfast in observing religious practices during 19 days in Leningrad's Spalerno prison. Protest within the country and abroad apparently saved his life and succeeded in getting his sentence changed to ten years imprisonment in the North and then to three years internal exile in Kostroma. This, too, was commuted and he was allowed to emigrate to Riga. Relates his efforts to support an underground network of traditional Jewish education in a hostile environment and to encourage observant Jews in many parts of the USSR. The account stresses persecution from the Yevsektsia (Jewish section) of the Communist Party more than from the party itself, and the resistance of Schneersohn as a leader and inspirer of traditional Judaism in the face of opposition from without and within.

Out of the Inferno
Author: Rachel Altein
Publisher: Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Altein (Jacobson's daughter) presents an account, via documents (letters, cables, etc.), of the successful effort to save the sixth Rebbe of Lubavitch and most members of his immediate family from Nazi-occupied Europe in 1939-40. The Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, was then in Warsaw, with the staff of his worldwide hasidic movement and its main rabbinical school. Efforts to save these people were directed by his followers in the U.S., who turned to the State Department, Justice Brandeis, advisors of President Roosevelt, and European diplomats. Problems in Europe included finding the Rebbe in Nazi-occupied Poland and making covert contact with German officials, especially Admiral Canaris, who agreed to help get the Rebbe out of Poland. It was necessary to find a neutral place from which he could leave the continent. Since he was a citizen of Lithuania, Riga was selected even though it was in danger of being taken over by the Soviets, who had sentenced him to death more than ten years before. U.S. visa problems were ultimately overcome via political contacts and affidavits that U.S. Jews would provide any financial guarantees necessary. Transit problems were solved with the aid of Sweden and Portugal. The Rebbe and family arrived in New York on 19 March 1940, after which he worked to rescue other members of his family, as well as Chabad teachers, students, and other members of his movement.

Defiance and Devotion

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Described as a "fearless call to defy the Soviet regime," the five Chasidic discourses that comprise this volume are far more than that. Delivered in 1927, after the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe's seventh and most excruciating imprisonment, they are, in fact, a triumphant call to faith. These discourses shed some light on the vitality that has infused the incredible growth of Lubavitch and its institutions, to this day, everywhere in the world, in the face of daunting obstacles and powerful odds.

Basi Legani
Author: Joseph Isaac Schneersohn
Publisher: Kehot Publication Society
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This seminal work of Chabad Chasidic philosophy is considered to be the "last will and testament" of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. The discourse was released for the 10th of Shevat in the year 5710 (1950); on that day Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak passed away. Chasidim customarily study Basi LeGani each year in honor of the yahrzeit, and each year his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, explained another of its chapters in depth. The Rebbe's exposition of Basi LeGani, the first Chasidic discourse he spoke upon assuming the mantle of leadership in 5711 (1951), was also a declaration of his own mission and goals. This widely acclaimed English edition will enable many more Jews to participate in the study of this important work.
