A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest.... I am con"dent that readers of Miller’s book will derive great pleasure and receive much knowledge from this splendid and compel- ling portrait of the Rebbe.” —Elliot R. Wolfson, Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University “Only truly great biographers have been able to accomplish what Chaim Miller has with this book...

It was compiled and written in the Hebrew language by a cousin, Harav Shneur Zalman Berger. It has now been translated to English by Eliyahu Baron, and is presented to you Levin on Chof Zayin Teves שי‘ in the pages that follow, in honor of the Bris of Shoel 5781. Reading this book, you will learn about the lives of Reb Shoel Moshe and Mrs. Chaya Liba a”h, whose home in Tashkent was one of the centers of the Chabad community in that city for many years. The secret minyan, kaparos, matza baking, and all matters of holiness were hosted in their home and yard. They continued their work once they reached Eretz Yisroel, where Reb Moshe did much for the good of the immigrants from the Soviet Union in general, and his brothers, the chassidim who lived in Nachalas Har Chabad, in particular. His wife, Mrs. Chaya Liba helped him in this, and would also host students from public schools for Shabbos and Yom Tov, as was done those years in Nachalas Har Chabad.

The necessary documents took a while to arrange and this is when I got to know him. He made everybody feel so good, even in uncomfortable circumstances. For example, once he started to tell a story, and I interrupted him; I jumped up, miffed, “Hey, I told this story yesterday!” He smiled at me so kindly and said, “Please understand — once I’ve heard a story from my father-in-law, I don’t listen to that story again from anybody else, because I don’t want to mix up their version with what I heard from him.” How could I be upset, if he had such a good reason and he explained it in such a nice way?! I also remember another incident. Before Passover, I went to prepare matzah — which required buying wheat and having it ground into flour. As the flour sacks were being readied for transport, I had to make sure nobody spent most of World War Two in Samarkand, took them — something I couldn’t allow to happen.

We spoke to him in Yiddish, and we gave him the letter from his mother. He opened the letter and began to read it. From what I could see, it was not a long letter, but he took a long time with it. Too long, it seemed to me. 'I finally said to Berel, “Why is he reading for so long?” I did not understand that this letter was precious to him, as he’d had no communication with his mother for many years because of the war. Finally, when he finished, he turned to me and asked, “How does my mother look?” And I answered him, “ Vee ahn alte MR.
