Chasidic Classic Back in Print

The Lubavitcher Rabbi’s Memoirs are a veritable treasure chest of Chasidic learning and lore, of anecdotes, historical annotations and commemorations, and represent the very best of informal writing from the prolific pen of the sixth leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn, of blessed memory and are now back in print and available from Kehot Publication Society.

Known and unknown figures from the past, scholars and cobblers, princes and dreamers, and giants of spirit rise before our eyes to convey the message of inspiration, wholehearted devotion and all-out dedication that characterized Chasidic Jewish life in the small and large centers of Eastern Europe.

First published in 1960, the two-volume Memoirs have been given a facelift allowing the reader to better appreciate the gems within. Spruced up with new typesetting and subheadings to divide up each chapter, Memoirs has also been cleared of errors and revised for greater clarity. New “relationship trees” have been drawn to help the reader keep track of the many individuals that people the stories.

Memoirs should be required reading for all those seeking to understand the origins of the Chasidic movement.

An elegant slipcase rounds out this exceptional set, making it an excellent gift.

Memoirs are available online at: www.kehot.com.
