Tracing the orgins of the Lubavitch movement
The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Memoirs reveal an interesting and hitherto little-known chapter
in the early history of Chasidism, and Jewish life in the 17th and 18th centuries in
general. They portray a gallery of the early pioneers of the Chasidic spirit and way of life
which cannot fail to be inspiring.
Throughout the pages, we follow closely behind a young man named Baruch, who
would later become the father of R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-
Lubavitch Movement. Orphaned at a young age, Baruch wanders in search of a suitable
way to serve G-d. At times, we witness incidents that occur in Baruch’s own life; at
others, we join him in listening to captivating stories and historical episodes told to him
by a variety of personalities. Both experiences serve as inspiration to young Baruch.
