| rabbi zushe winner: Social Vision Philip Wexler, Michael Wexler, Eli Rubin, 2019-07-06 He has been described in many ways, including a prophet, a scholar, and the most influential Rabbi in modern history. Regardless, the influence of Jewish Mystical Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, popularly known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe, cannot be underestimated. Among his many accomplishments, he was an advisor to every U.S. president from Richard Nixon to George H.W. Bush and received a Congressional Gold Medal posthumously. In one of the first works of its kind, authors Philip Wexler, Michael Wexler, and Eli Rubin explore the neglected social vision of a leader whose movement and followers span more than 50 countries and 250 colleges and universities worldwide. The book provides a window into the previously undisclosed wisdom of the Rebbe. Modern Prophet is a tour de force that provides striking and revolutionary insights into a breathtaking array of topics championed by the Rebbe. Treating each with an equal amount of passion, Rabbi Schneerson focused on such wide-ranging concerns as public education, social justice, prison reform, technology, feminism, green energy, and, of course, the hope and possibility of a new and mystical society. |
| rabbi zushe winner: Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore? Manis Friedman, J. S. Morris, 2012-06-01 The central theme of this book is modesty, a notion so simple and common that most of us would dismiss it as irrelevant to our daily lives. But Rabbi Manis Friedman asks us to look again. And as we do he explains, clearly and succinctly, how modesty can become a powerful tool for change. Gently and with humor, Rabbi Friedman helps us redirect our thinking about sexuality and refocus our ideas about intimacy. In so doing, he moves us toward a truer understanding of ourselves and how we can cope with the changing world around us. |
| rabbi zushe winner: Basi Legani Joseph Isaac Schneersohn, 1990 This seminal work of Chabad Chasidic philosophy is considered to be the last will and testament of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. The discourse was released for the 10th of Shevat in the year 5710 (1950); on that day Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak passed away. Chasidim customarily study Basi LeGani each year in honor of the yahrzeit, and each year his successor, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, explained another of its chapters in depth. The Rebbe's exposition of Basi LeGani, the first Chasidic discourse he spoke upon assuming the mantle of leadership in 5711 (1951), was also a declaration of his own mission and goals. This widely acclaimed English edition will enable many more Jews to participate in the study of this important work. |

| rabbi zushe winner: The Chronicles of The Last Jewish Gangster Myron Sugerman, 2019-06-21 Myron Sugerman's memoir, The Last Jewish Gangster: From Meyer to Myron, is more than just a riveting account of the author's nearly sixty-year career as an international outlaw in the field of slot machines and casinos. Its Also a fascinating meditation on a variety of themes: aging, respect, adventure, greed, and man's tendency to be his own worst enemy. Although it is chock-full of hilarious anecdotes about Mr. Sugerman's hapless cohorts in what he calls disorganized crime, the book also contains life lessons for those perceptive enough to look for them--lessons on how to differentiate calculated risk taking from compulsive gambling, and how to maintain one's place in the world as one grows older. The Last Jewish Gangster follows its author from 1959 to the present day as he travels the globe from Europe to Africa to South America to Asia, rubbing shoulders with dangerous men and legendary mob figures like Longie Zwillman, Meyer Lansky, Joe Doc Stacher, Gerry Catena, Tony Bananas Caponigro, Tommy Ryan Eboli, and many others. The story covers everything from his dealings with the fearsome Cali Cartel to his attempt to help famous Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal track down the Angel of Death, Josef Mengele in Paraguay. The remarkable book contains something to pique the interest of any reader--Gritty crime stories, harrowing adventure, twentieth century history, and the Jewish religious philosophy--and the perspective of a man who has lived a long life and seen more than most of us have even imagined seeing. |

| rabbi zushe winner: The Rebbeim Biography Seties Sholom Avtzon, 2020-12-22 A biography of the 5th Rebbe of the Lubavitch movement, Rabbi Sholom DovBer Schneersohn. Notwithstanding the tremendous upheavals of the beginning of the 20th century in Czarist Russia, coupled with his frail health, that caused him to be in health resorts, a few months a year, he spearheaded the fight against Czarist Russia's intention of secularising the Jewish community and educational system. He established Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim, the flagship education system of Lubavitch, and began clarifying the deepest concepts of Chassidus.His communal work included working with the secular Jews to provide the Jewish soldiers with Matza for Pesach during the Russo-Japanese war, as well as saving the Jewish printing press, Rom. As well as protecting the rights of Jews to live where they desire and enter into occupations that could supply them with a livelihood. He established a weaving factory that provided two thousand families with a livelihood. But at the same time, fought with them and upended their efforts to destroy the educational system and replace it with their new, but spiritually dangerous system.His focus was one thing, how to uphold and support Jews and their right to live as Jews, no matter the situation.It is a pleasure to present the 5th volume of The Rebbeim Biography Series. |
| rabbi zushe winner: Kosher Investigator Dovid Zaklikowski, 2017-11-10 Even as a young child, Berel Levy was determined and fearless in the pursuit of his goals. From the home of his uncle, ¿the Malach,¿ to the Lubavitch yeshivah in Otwock, Poland, he followed his dream of studying Torah, despite his parents¿ disapproval and the looming clouds of World War II. In the halls of Torah Umesorah and the clandestine Jewish schools of the Soviet Union, he bolstered Jewish education and observance in the face of political opposition and an oppressive Communist regime. Perhaps most remarkably, as the head of the Organized Kashrus Laboratories, he forever changed the world of kosher supervision. Rabbi Levy¿s life story is told for the first time in these pages. |

| rabbi zushe winner: Likkutei Dibburim Joseph Isaac Schneersohn, 1987 Likkutei Dibburim, a cherished treasure-chest of the Chabad Chasidic heritage, is a record of talks delivered by the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe in Latvia, Poland, and the United States during the years 1929 to 1950. It is a unique work - by turns expository, philosophical, narrative and nostalgic. The talks embrace an overwhelming range of subjects, from the Rebbe's memories of childhood and family to his eloquent and sometimes impassioned passages of exhortation. They include glimpses of faces and sounds that conjure up the mystique of a vanished shtetl world, delicately-drawn vignettes, fascinating chronicles of the early history of the Chasidic movement, and creative and instructive expositions of Chasidic concepts. One theme links all of these subjects like a thread of gold: the intense spiritual and personal bond with all his fellow Jews, that is of the essence of the very concept of Rebbe. |
| rabbi zushe winner: Antler on the Sea Anna M. Kerttula, 2000 Antler on the Sea is a fascinating, important, and near-unique study of a threatened culture.?Colin Thubron, author of In Siberia Anna M. Kerttula, an anthropologist, offers a vivid portrayal of life in Sireniki, a Siberian village on the Bering Sea. Once a traditional Yup'ik community, it was by the final years of the Soviet Empire home to three cultural groups: the Yup'ik, native hunters of sea mammals; the Chukchi, nomadic reindeer herders who had been required by the state to turn their animals over to cooperative farms; and Russians of European ancestry enticed to the region by incentive programs designed to colonize the Russian Far East. Kerttula, who lived among the villagers for eighteen months, draws on her experiences to explore how each group's beliefs and customs have transformed those of the other two. Her book shows the endurance of the indigenous cultures of Far Eastern Russia despite years of intrusion by the Soviet state. The author describes in rich detail how the Yup'ik, the Chukchi, and the Russian newcomers developed a sense of cultural difference because of their separate symbolic systems and yet cohered as a community. She explains that relations among the groups have become tenuous since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the subsequent collapse of the local economy. Kerttula's research provides a unique perspective on today's ethnic rivalries within the former USSR. She maintains that these conflicts, not always expressions of ancient animosities, may be efforts toward mutual understanding during times of economic and social change. |

| rabbi zushe winner: Sefer Hasichos 5700 - English Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, 2015-10-12 Talks by the Rebbe Rayatz in 5700, late 1939 to late 1940, for the first time in English.1. Sichos delivered in winter in Europe2.Sichos from his arrival in New York on March 19, 1940, until Rosh Hashanah eve.After surviving a lifetime of painful and life-threatening crisis, Yaakov Avinu yearned to live a life of tranquility. Nevertheless, the A-mighty said: Are tzaddikim not satisfied with what awaits them in the World to Come, and they also seek tranquility in this world?!Likewise, the Previous Rebbe, went through more turbulence then tranquility. After torment,incarceration and capital sentence in Russia and other challenges in Latvia and Poland, he could have wanted to live a quiet life but he had yet to endure three months in the blockade of Warsaw, horrors of which are graphically described in chapter 8. After his remarkable release and a brief stopover in Latvia, he went from Europe throughSweden to America, which did not greet the Rebbe Rayatz with a smile in that the complacency of the Jewish communal establishment, including some the veteran chassdic migrants who, instead of working desperately to revive and actualize their Old World ideals, had allowed them to fade. Yet the Rebbe Rayatz never allowed his sense of trauma to paralyze his optimism, but rather it spurred him ahead to vigorous and pioneering outreach activity.Talks in this book were delivered in Riga, New York and Lakewood. They pulsate with creative and inspiring interpretations of Biblical and Talmudic teachings; heartwarming descriptions of incidents and encounters in Lubavitch; pungent admonition; candid childhood memories; energizing stories and oral traditions, and colorful personalities whose portraits spring into life. |
