Ahead of the 25th yahrzeit of the Rebbe—Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory—his visionary approach to many social questions and challenges faced by society has been made available in one place for the first time.
This new section of Chabad.org combines hundreds of transcripts, clips of original footage and personal correspondence of the Rebbe, highlighting how he applied the deep wisdom of Chassidic philosophy to real-world issues.
Among the topics addressed are mass incarceration, the importance of renewable energy and the imperative of transforming public education for the greater good.
According to Rabbi Mordechai Rubin, associate editor at Chabad.org, the new section “shines a spotlight on the centrality of the Rebbe's teachings about society as a whole and about how it can be reshaped for the better.”
“The Rebbe taught us,” Rubin continues, “that by engaging, partnering and giving to others, the individual is not diminished, but is rather enhanced two-thousand fold.”
