Authentisches Judentum oder gefährlicher Messianismus
Christiane Altmann untersucht erstmals die Debatte um den Lubavitcher rebe, Rabbi Schneerson, den sog. „Messias von Brooklyn“. Anders als die bisherigen Studien schildert die Autorin den Messianismus im Kontext jüdischer Konfliktstrategien und vertritt die These, dass die biblische Erlösungsgestalt auch in der Moderne nicht an Attraktivität eingebüßt hat. Der Messias, als zentraler Glaube des Judentums, birgt nicht nur revolutionäres Potenzial, sondern auch eine innovative Kraft. Christiane Altmann erklärt, wie sich der Messias-Glaube um Schneerson entwickelte, Spannungen provozierte und jene Dynamik entfaltete, die bis heute erfolgreich jüdischer Assimilation und Säkularisierung widerspricht.
The Rebbe
A biography of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson that discusses his childhood in Russia, education in Germany and Paris, messianic conviction, religious leadership, legacy, and other related topics.
The Rabbi’s Wife
2006 National Jewish Book Award, Modern Jewish Thought Long the object of curiosity, admiration, and gossip, rabbis' wives have rarely been viewed seriously as American Jewish religious and communal leaders. We know a great deal about the important role played by rabbis in building American Jewish life in this country, but not much about the role that their wives played. The Rabbi’s Wife redresses that imbalance by highlighting the unique contributions of rebbetzins to the development of American Jewry. Tracing the careers of rebbetzins from the beginning of the twentieth century until the present, Shuly Rubin Schwartz chronicles the evolution of the role from a few individual rabbis' wives who emerged as leaders to a cohort who worked together on behalf of American Judaism. The Rabbi’s Wife reveals the ways these women succeeded in both building crucial leadership roles for themselves and becoming an important force in shaping Jewish life in America.
Learn Torah, Love Torah, Live Torah
HaRav Mordechai Pinchas Teitz focused his brilliant mind and sparkling personality on one goal, teaching Torah, because he knew that only Torah knowledge would guarantee the Jewish future. Transferring what he had learned from great scholars in Europe to the United States, he adapted modern culture to serve Torah. He and his wife created a kehillah in Elizabeth, New Jersey, founded schools, and pioneered in teaching Talmud on radio, records, and audiotapes. The Jewish Educational Center in Elizabeth became a force for learning, loving, and living Torah across the globe. In addition, Rav Teitz made 22 trips to the USSR to sustain the three million Jews imprisoned there. The Torah speaks the language of tomorrow, he said; current events reveal new meanings. Take from Rav Teitz hints on how to study the Torah yourself and claim your legacy.
Untold Tales of the Hasidim
Reveals the untold tale of shocking events and anomalous figures in the history of Hasidism
The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference
This book is a history, an indictment, a lament, and an appeal, focusing on the messianic trend in Lubavitch hasidism. It records the shattering of one of Judaism's core beliefs and the remarkable equanimity with which the standard-bearers of Orthodoxy have allowed it to happen. This is a development of striking importance for the history of religions, and it is an earthquake in the history of Judaism. David Berger describes the unfolding of this historic phenomenon and proposes a strategy to contain it.
