Coming Soon: Book on the Rebbe’s Ideas for the World
A first-of-its-kind book about the Rebbe’s societal ideas, Social Vision: The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Transformative Paradigm for the World is available for pre-order and will be available on Amazon and in bookstores around the country on Gimmel Tammuz, the 25th yahrzeit of the Rebbe — and for a limited time, it’s available for pre-order now at a steep discount.
It is being published by Herder and Herder, a leading independent publisher based in New York City, and was written by Prof. Philip Wexler, a leading sociologist and education expert, who has authored 30 works on sociology, education, religion and spirituality.
In the book, Wexler offers his perspective and explores the Rebbe’s revolutionary outlook on society with a focus on education as well as specific policies and tools the Rebbe championed, such as a Moment of Silence and prison reform.
The description of the book reads:
“Social Vision is a breakthrough work of scholarship by Professor Philip Wexler, a leading sociologist and expert on education. Wexler distills Schneerson’s voluminous public teachings, letters, and private conversations to make his ideas accessible to the general reader, and demonstrates the enduring relevance of Schneerson’s teachings to the manifold crises of modern life, politics, and culture.
“Wexler delves deeply into the ways that religious ideas seminally shape society. Juxtaposed with what Max Weber called “the spirit of capitalism,” Schneerson’s Hasidic worldview is compellingly framed as a practical path that can help us create a better future for all humanity. Schneerson was not simply a religious figure, but also a great philosopher who boldly upended conventional polarizations between tradition and progress, religion and science, mysticism and society. Social Vision tells the story of how Schneerson not only channeled his ideas into a global Jewish renaissance in the aftermath of the Holocaust, but also articulated a universal vision whose influence continues to shape better policymaking for a better world.”
