The biography
is about the meeting of two minds, two extraordinary rabbis that fills the
Jewish people and world with Divine Wisdom; we are talking about ‘tzaddik’
Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Torah luminary of
our time, of blessed memory, and his student is in action until today, the
disciple Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, well-known for hosting the monumental
work of the Talmud, now all forty-four volumes have been completed and edited.
This is
relatively a small book page numbers, a total of seventeen chapters, however,
it is very big and rich in teachings and important information that summarizes
all a brilliant life of the Rebbe, describing deep details, behavior,
achievements what Menachem Mendel Schneerson (of blessed memory) did through Chabad-Lubavitch,
a highly readable, well-argued yet honest portrayal of the Rebbe and his
movement.
The topics
have focused on the mission and Divine service, a vision of the work of
Chabad-Lubavitch movement not only to understand what the Rebbe did, but also
how we can understand and follow the straight ways, mitzvot.
Some words of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz says about
the Rebbe during "yechudut" with a Chassid:
"The Rebbe was not in a normal state of consciousness, but in a
state of heightened consciousness. In the yechiduyot with him, it seemed that
he was taken over by some sort of divine inspiration. Latent powers within his
soul seemed to me - and to many, many others - to manifest themselves in these
moments, and the words that issued from his mouth during the yechiduyot were at
the very least, I and others believe, "hidden prophecy" - words emanating
from a place beyond the Rebbe's conscious rational intellection, even if no
explicitly prophetic vision was expressed. I reported in the early pages of
this book my personal impression that the Rebbe was clearly a holy man, a
tzaddik. I firmly believe that he possessed some sort of supernatural
capability, and that he was in contact with another level of being - which I do
not hesitate to call Divine."
Reading
becomes very engaging; the Enigma of the Rebbe is available.

teacher, philosopher, social critic and prolific author who have been hailed by
Time Magazine as a "once-in-a-millennium scholar."

After a 45-year effort, Rabbi Steinsaltz completed a monumental elucidation of
the entire Talmud in modern Hebrew, now used all over the world. Rabbi
Steinsaltz then partnered with Koren Publishers Jerusalem to launch the Koren
Talmud Bavli, a groundbreaking new edition of the Talmud which includes modern
English translation, color illustrations and previously-censored passages.
