In the mid-twentieth century, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson set his sights on worldwide Jewish renaissance. Today his Shluchim-emissaries-are ubiquitous. How was an army of Rabbies and Rebbetzins trained and encouraged to move to the four corners of the earth to fulfill the Rebbe¿s mission? How would they live far from friends and family and dedicate their lives to Jewish destiny and the welfare of others? How would they learn to remain true to their ideals and raise their families outside the classical religious community? How did they create environments of openness to Jews of all backgrounds and a culture of welcoming? Few understood the immense scope of the Rebbe¿s vision. Those who did, thought the goal difficult, if not impossible to attain. This book takes us deep inside Chabad, revealing how this was done.
