Rabbi, Mystic, Leader by Naftali Tzvi Gottleib
A beacon of light for Jews in the soviet Union during the darkness if communist rule, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, revered Rabbi, Kabbalist, communal leader and father of the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, constantly risked his life to keep Judaism alive. Whether it was procuring funds for clandestine yeshivas, securing government authorization for the production of shumurah matzah under his supervision, or performing secret weddings and circumcisions, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak infused his fellow Jews with courage, determination and fortitude. Even during his last years, suffering imprisonment and exile and weakened by the illness that would claim his life, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak embodied that rare spiritual vitality that characterizes a true leader and tzaddik.
