In the Paths of Our Fathers provides a sampler of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's unique approach to Ethics of the Fathers. It shows the connections to points of Jewish law and reveals the influence of Jewish mystical teachings in these sayings. The Rebbe's emphasis, as always, is upon how their wisdom can be applied in real life for the sake of personal growth and spiritual understandings.

Growing a beard has a revered place in Jewish tradition. But is it a halachic necessity? As long as one does not shave with a razor, does Jewish law permit one to remove facial hair? Pages and pages have been written on this subject over the course of the generations. In the spirit of our Rabbis saying: Bring a text and we will see, we have chosen to present a classic work of Torah scholarship, a responsum authored by R. Chayim Elazar Spira, the distinguished head of the Rabbinic court and the Rebbe of Munkatch, that collects and analyzes the different halachic positions concerning this issue. The comprehensive annotations and the free-flowing translation enable a reader to examine the issues point by point and arrive at conclusions independently, rather than have them thrust upon him. Supplemented by excerpts from the writings of the Chafetz Chayim and a collection of halachic rulings and quotes from contemporary Rabbinic greats from Lithuanian, Chassidic, and Sephardic traditions, this work opens a reader to a wide spectrum of views concerning this halachic issue. The translator, Rabbi Eliyahu Touger, is renown for his translations of Rambam's Mishneh Torah, the commentary of the Baal HaTurim on the Torah, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch and many other Jewish books of law and thought.

As a new day breaks: A contemporary view of Mashiach and Israel's redemption

To know and to care : an anthology of Chassidic stories about the Lubavitcher Rebbe Shlita, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, vol. 1

Sichos in English

From the Back Cover\nDirectly after calling on the Jewish people to "do everything you can to bring Mashiach," the Rebbe explained that the primary catalyst in this effort is the study of the concepts of Mashiach and Redemption "as they are developed in the maamarim and the Likkutei Sichos of the Nassi of our generation." The seven maamarim that follow represent classic treatments of these subjects by the Rebbe including explanations of the dynamic of exile and redemption, the spiritual transcendance which will characterize the Era of the Redemption, the Resurrection of the Dead, and the unique role of the leaders of the generation in serving as catalysts of Redemption. Our Sages assure us that the intensity which we devote to anticipating the promise of Redemption will hasten its realization. Anticipating the Redemption means more than desiring that it come. Primarily, it means living our daily lives in the spirit of the Redemption, displaying the knowledge, oneness, and love that will characterize that era in our conduct today. The maamarim in this volume provide the conceptual background that make such changes in conduct possible. Anticipating the Redemption means more than just awakening a desire for it. It means changing our lives, instilling the awareness, brotherhood, and care that will characterize the Redemption in our conduct today. The maamarim in this volume provide the conceptual background that make such changes possible and provide the impetus that will enable the promise of Redemption to blossom into reality.

Anticipating the Redemption: Maamarim of the Lubavitcher rebbe Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson concerning the Era of Redemption

Wineberg, Sholem Ber

The stories contained in this book reveal a multidimensional picture of the Rebbe’s leadership, showing many different perspectives of his personality. Our intent, however, is also to communicate something more than what is being said, to intimate to our readers an awareness of the general thrust that runs through all these different narratives. Giving sole focus to any particular aspect of the Rebbe’s personality, for example, the miracles that he works, the advice he gives people, his scholarship, narrows - and in that way, distorts - the picture of the Rebbe we all have. Every person who has developed a relationship with the Rebbe has his own way of talking about him. But every person also realizes that his viewpoint is only a limited one and that there is something much greater about the Rebbe that he cannot describe. Nevertheless, by seeing a variety of these personal perspectives, it is possible to develop a greater sensitivity to what that greater dimension is. It is our feeling that stories express this best. Stories are alive. In contrast to a biography which represents a cold intellectual perspective on a person’s life, in stories, his responses to the people and the circumstances he encounters breathe with vitality. Besides biographies come with explicit or implied conclusions; stories quietly allow the reader to draw his own.
