Download or read book With Light and with Might written by Shalom Dov Baer Schneersohn and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, two classic chassidic works of the Rebbe Rashab, Rabbi Sholom DovBer Schneersohn of Lubavitch, complement each other. The discourse entitled Tanu Rabbanan: Ner Chanukah (1982) celebrates the might of spiritual light which like the rays of the Chanukah lamp reaches out to illuminate a dark world; the discourse entitled Kol HaYotzei LeMilchemes Beis David (1900) celebrates the light that is generated when an individual musters the self-sacrificing might to "go out to the battles of the House of David," and to prepare himself and his environment for the coming of Mashiach. This historical and conceptual background to the latter discourse is richly depicted in this volume in an appendix written by the author's son and successor, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch, who was present when it was first delivered. The lucid translation is supplemented by source references, explanatory footnotes and a comprehensive glossary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Lubavitcher Messianism written by Simon Dein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994 the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, died leaving no successor. For many years his followers had maintained that he was Moshiach -the Jewish Messiah and would usher in the Redemption. After his death Lubavitch divided into two opposing groups. While some messianists hold that the Rebbe died but is to be resurrected as the messiah, others hold that he is still alive, but concealed. The anti-messianists maintain that the Rebbe could have been Moshiach if God had willed it, but they disagree vehemently that as such he could come back from the dead. Using ethnographic data obtained by the author through twenty years of fieldwork, this book presents a social-psychological account of Lubavitcher Messianism and moves beyond the typical scholarly preoccupation with 'belief' and 'dissonance' to examine the role of rhetoric, religious experience and ritual in maintaining counterintuitive convictions. Through examining the parallels between early Christianity and messianism in Lubavitch this book provides a comprehensive perspective for examining messianism generally

Download or read book The Hebrew Letters written by Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh and published by GalEinai Publication Society. This book was released on 1990 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sefer Yetzirah (the "Book of Creation"), one of the earliest Kabbalistic works, teaches that the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are the building blocks of creation. Each letter has its own significance, spiritual energy, and reason for existing. In this revised version of Rabbi Ginsburgh's best-selling The Alef-Beit, Jewish Thought Revealed Through the Hebrew Letters, he explains how each letter's name, form, and numerical value play a role in the creative process of the cosmos. He draws on the understandings of the well-known mystic, the Baal Shem Tov, in depicting how each letter has nine dimensions, with impact in three worlds--the physical, spiritual, and Divine. In every letter there is the true completion of the soul, a chance to unite consciousness with the code of creation. Includes glossary, footnotes, and index.
