| | Lubavitchers and Liberals by Peter Berkowitz - Policy Review, No. 126 |
 | | And the Lubavitchers are notorious for their enthusiasm for their spiritual leader, investing the Lubavitcher rebbe, in death as in life, with mystical, messianic, world-redemptive powers. |  | | As Feldman emphasizes, Lubavitcher communities have become home to many ba’alot teshuva, literally “masters of return.” These are women who have grown up in secular, educated and, in many cases, well-to-do households but have chosen to adopt the Lubavitcher way of life. |  | | Given this looser understanding, the Lubavitcher rebbe, Feldman earnestly contends, can be seen as a “friendly critic of American democracy.” While devoted to religious freedom, he also believed that the best arguments for religious freedom, and the virtues necessary for maintaining it, had religious sources. |

| | The Christian Century: Hasidim adjust to rabbi's death. (Lubavitcher H... @ HighBeam Research |
 | | Months after the death of their beloved rabbi, the Lubavitcher Hasidim show signs of adjusting to life without Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom many of the faithful had predicted would rise from the dead and proclaim himself the messiah. |  | | After Schneerson suffered a stroke in 1992, messianic claims flourished and more and more Lubavitchers began to believe that the rebbe who could inspire them to go to far-flung places as emissaries was the Expected One. |  | | The Bratslaver Hasidim, most of whose members are in Israel, never picked a new leader after Rabbi Nachman, who thought he possessed the messiah's soul, died in 1810. |

| | On False Messianism |
 | | Their creative apologetics are simply the logical consequence of a belief that was clearly articulated by more than 150 of their rabbis in a "psak din," the belief that the Lubavitcher Rebbe was a prophet, and that Torah law binds all Jews to obey the words of a prophet. |  | | Lubavitchers themselves are divided over the nature of their messianism. |  | | One is found in Abarbanel's Yeshuos Meshicho, in a re-examination of a midrash that had been cited by a priest to Ramban in the famous disputation at Barcelona in 1263. |

 | | But the Lubavitcher hasidim prided themselves on their hospitality, openness, and-perhaps most of all-their tireless efforts to nudge a generation of lost Jewish souls toward spiritual return. |  | | In their pursuit of lost souls, the Lubavitchers embraced the technology rejected by other essentially separatist religious communities: the Satmar hasidim, the Roman Catholic monasteries, or the Old Order Amish. |  | | One sign of the shape such a future might take could be seen in the gathering of Lubavitcher hasidim on the occasion of the first anniversary of their rebbe's death. |

 | | Lubavitchers believe that in every Jew, however secular or religiously liberal, there is a "spark" of religious Orthodoxy. |  | | Instead, they offer "the opportunity for the Jew to fulfill his life's destiny." That destiny is to obey the 613 commandments of the Bible (as, needless to say, the Lubavitchers read them). |  | | He has also never said that he is the Messiah-in-waiting, though the inference arises from the devotion Lubavitchers accord him. |

| | 5 Years After Death, Messiah Question Divides Lubavitchers |
 | | With a network of missionaries, called emissaries, and religious institutions ranging from yeshivas to Chabad Houses -- which offer spiritual, social and educational services -- Schneerson created a small but zealous movement that penetrated the secular world and provided a Jewish presence in places where otherwise there was none, from Shanghai to Katmandu to Alabama. |  | | This messianic belief gained speed -- and voice -- when Schneerson, who had no children and had not appointed a successor, suffered a stroke in 1992 that left him unable to speak for the rest of his life. |  | | But as a messianist, he also uses the books to communicate with the Rebbe. |

 | | Within Lubavitch itself, messianists and non-messianists are said to be vying for power within the movement -- still without an individual leader more than seven years after the rebbe's death -- although there are signs that a stronger sense of unity seems to be holding, at least for the present. |  | | Rabbi Sirota shares the widely held Lubavitch belief that the messianic age is imminent, and that the world is currently seeing such a proliferation of evil -- the events of Sept. 11, the recent terrorism in Israel, etc. -- because the forces of evil realize that their end is near. |  | | When his passing came, in June, 1994, many Lubavitchers mourned the rebbe's natural demise, while many others refused to surrender their messianist beliefs. |
