The Heroic Struggle
Recounts the 1927 arrest and imprisonment of the sixth Habad-Lubavitcher Rebbe, Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn, by Soviet authorities, based mainly on his autobiographical notes and supplemented by other sources. Relates how Schneersohn remained steadfast in observing religious practices during 19 days in Leningrad's Spalerno prison. Protest within the country and abroad apparently saved his life and succeeded in getting his sentence changed to ten years imprisonment in the North and then to three years internal exile in Kostroma. This, too, was commuted and he was allowed to emigrate to Riga. Relates his efforts to support an underground network of traditional Jewish education in a hostile environment and to encourage observant Jews in many parts of the USSR. The account stresses persecution from the Yevsektsia (Jewish section) of the Communist Party more than from the party itself, and the resistance of Schneersohn as a leader and inspirer of traditional Judaism in the face of opposition from without and within.
Out of the Inferno
Altein (Jacobson's daughter) presents an account, via documents (letters, cables, etc.), of the successful effort to save the sixth Rebbe of Lubavitch and most members of his immediate family from Nazi-occupied Europe in 1939-40. The Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, was then in Warsaw, with the staff of his worldwide hasidic movement and its main rabbinical school. Efforts to save these people were directed by his followers in the U.S., who turned to the State Department, Justice Brandeis, advisors of President Roosevelt, and European diplomats. Problems in Europe included finding the Rebbe in Nazi-occupied Poland and making covert contact with German officials, especially Admiral Canaris,...

חודש הזה לכם
In 1940, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, delivered one of his very first discourses, after settling on American shores. Now for the first time, HaChodesh HaZeh LChem, an exploration of the mystical meaning of the Hebrew months of Tishrei and Nissan, has been eloquently translated into English.Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the New Year, which also marks the creation of the physical, natural universe, is celebrated in the month of Tishrei. In Nissan, we commemorate the Exodus from Egypt, a supernatural phenomenon by which the Jewish people transcended all constraints of the natural order and thus achieved their redemption. Creation and Redemption illuminates this mystical dynamic, expressed in terms of contraction and expansion, as it exists within the world at large, within the cycles of the year, and within each individual as well.
Sefer Hasichos 5702 - English
Talks delivered in 1941-42 by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of LubavitchThis thought provoking volume of talks delivered in 1942 is projected against an ominous backdrop of three critical threats - the recent threat to Jewish spiritual in the USSR; the then - current threat of the Holocaust to Jewish physical survival in Europe; and the ongoing non-violent threat to the survival of American Jewry as Jews.Interspersed between scores of Torah teachings, the amazing variety of themes that give this volume its eloquent power include among many: Mesirus Nefesh in Russia and Living in the Land of Gold.
Basi Legani
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.

The Second Generation: R. Dovber of Lubavitch - Historical Sketches
The fourth installment of Historical sketches, this work focuses on the life of R. DovBer Schneuri, second Rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. During the years of his leadership, the sun of chabad Chasidism shone with all its might and glory, as this was a time marked by tranquility from opposition and extensive efforts in studying and disseminating the teachings of Chasidut. Penned by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, this monograph records R. DovBer's concern with the economic plight of the Jewish masses, which had been ravaged by the Napoleonic Wars, and how he encouraged his Jewish brethren to engage in agriculture and basic trade, even petitioning the Czar to improve the Jews' financial position by granting then parcels of land to cultivate and settle thereon. The monograph also describes the events surrounding the arrest and liberation of R. DovBer, toward the end of his life.
