The Rebbe’s legacy
Who Was the Lubavitcher Rebbe?
An introduction to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson and his leadership of Chabad-Lubavitch.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, assumed leadership in 1951. His teachings, correspondence and public addresses connected Torah learning with practical responsibility for Jewish life around the world.
A biography is easier to understand when separated into life events, published works and the continuing activity of his followers. The app’s legacy page brings these strands together and links official resources. Use those sources to explore a particular teaching rather than attributing an appealing anonymous quotation to him.
A place to begin
- Read the life timeline before focusing on one event.
