The Chabad Rebbes
  Published in 1973 by the Lubavitch Foundation of Great Britain, Challenge traces the history of Chabad Lubavitch through an overview of the movement's activities during the middle of the 20th century. It offers considerable insight into Chabad philosophy and its impact on contemporary Jewish life in a wide-ranging collection of essays and articles that reveal the myriad dimensions of Chasidism for the modern Jew.
