    Praise for Turning Judaism Outward “Wonderfully written as well as intensely thought provoking, Turning Judaism Outward is the most in-depth treatment of the life of the Rebbe ever written. !e author has managed to successfully reconstruct the history of one of the most important Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century, whose life has up to now been shrouded in mystery. 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... I am awed by his work, and am now even more awed than ever before by the Rebbe’s personality and prodi- gious accomplishments.” —Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus, Orthodox Union; Editor-in-Chief, Koren-Steinsaltz Talmud “A fascinating account of the life and legacy of a spiritual master.

    BAIS CHANA OF NEW HAVEN A few months after the histalkus in 5725, Rabbi and Mrs. Moshe Hecht of New Haven, Connecticut decided to build a high-school for girls bearing the Rebbetzin’s name, suggesting that it be called “Chana Schneerson High-School for Girls”.

The school will be called ‘Bais Chana High School for Girls’…” It should be noted that in 5730, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka visited this mosad while on a trip to New Haven.

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. This Uzbekistan, learning in the Lubavitcher Yeshiva there. was the special flour for Passover! So I lay down on top IAfter the war ended, the Previous Rebbe dispatched of the sacks and my jacket turned completely white, my father to Antwerp to help reopen the Etz Chaim though I didn’t know it.

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.

    FALL 5769/2008 A PUBLICATION OF THE MONTREAL TORAH CENTER BAIS MENACHEM CHABAD LUBAVITCH JOANNE AND JONATHAN GURMAN COMMUNITY CENTER • LOU ADLER SHUL BAIS MENACHEM CHABAD LUBAVITCH Gleanings From the Rebbe’s wisdom The Harder Easier Path There are two paths you could take: An easier path or a harder one. Knowing that G-d is everything, you may wish to reject all that the ‘world’ stands for. Since everything is emptiness and vanities, you may deny yourself even necessities, living far and removed from the banalities of mankind, engaging only in the truths of the spirit, running from the confines of physical, mundane life. This is the easier path. On the other hand, knowing than within each thing G-d can be found, you may be inspired to refine and elevate our world, struggling with all its facets to find their true purpose, seizing every opportunity to coax out a little more of the world’s inherent good, living a spiritual life by using physical things in an enlightened way. Both paths are true paths, and great sages have tread them both. But the second, more difficult one, is the one we will all have the most benefit from, especially today.
