Tracing the origins of the Lubavitch movement

The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Memoirs reveal an interesting and hitherto little-known chapter in the early history of Chasidism, and Jewish life in the 17th and 18th centuries in general. They portray a gallery of the early pioneers of the Chasidic spirit and way of life which cannot fail to be inspiring.

Throughout the pages, we follow closely behind a young man named Baruch, who would later become the father of R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement. Orphaned at a young age, Baruch wanders in search of a suitable way to serve G-d. At times, we witness incidents that occur in Baruch’s own life; at others, we join him in listening to captivating stories and historical episodes told to him by a variety of personalities. Both experiences serve as inspiration to young Baruch.
