We all dream of “falling in love” and being totally swept away in a wave of passion and excitement.

So long as I am in New York City, I enjoy frequenting an informal eatery in the Chassidic neighborhood of Williamsburg. Usually, I meet an array of customers who like myself have patronized the establishment and meet there every Thursday night to enjoy heated cholent, pastrami, and conversation.
I enjoy exchanging Chassidic insights and traditions with the group who represent a number of Chassidic sects. Consistently, after having debated ideas and swapping scholarship, the dialogue becomes focused on the life, teachings, and example of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Judaism’s beloved religious leader.
The young Chassidim of Satmar, Vishnitz, or Bobov that I passionately converse with are curious about the man who was a leader of men. They wish to learn from the teacher who was so called by eminent Torah giants. They are eager to make contact with the endless love for the Jewish people that was displayed and embodied in the person of the great Rebbe.
