Full Description
While much has been written about the Rebbeim of Lubavitch – their
incredible accomplishments, Mesirus Nefesh and love for every Jew –
relatively little was written about the Mittler Rebbe: Harav Dovber
Scheuri, the second Rebbe of Lubavitch.
The duration of his leadership was the shortest of all the Rebbeim and
took place in extremely tumultuous times, when Russian Jewry was
devastated by the Napoleonic War and harsh Czarist Decrees.
But his accomplishments in the fourteen years of his Nesius were
remarkable. In those years, he wrote and published more chassidus than
almost every one of the rebbeim. In bringing Chassidus to hundreds of
thousands of Jews, he clarified the distinction of Chassidus Chabad and
what it set out to accomplish.
At the same time, he toiled to improve the harsh living conditions of
Russian Jewry. His greatest accomplishment in this endeavor was his
successful petition to the Czar to allow Jews to settle in the Ukraine.
Over the years, the twenty-two Ukrainian settlements he established
developed into towns and cities, ultimately becoming home to hundreds
and thousands of Jews.
It is an honor to present the first English biography of the Mitteler
Rebbe – the second volume in the series The Rebbeim: A Biography.
By reading about the Mitteler Rebbe, may we become connected to him
fulfill his directive that when two Jews meet, they should discuss
G-dliness and inspire each other to improve in their avodas Hashem.
