A Korff Jewish Advocate, 2001 Misguided and Misinformed I wish the good Rebbe would have stuck to writing a strictly historical book. Instead, we have to endure what he thinks are his great pearls of wisdom and insight. The few "revelations" he shares that aren't regurgitated chestnuts, are strange pronouncents.

Good advice, that the good Rebbe should ...             To know and to care : an anthology of Chassidic stories about the Lubavitcher Rebbe Shlita, Rabbi Menachem M. ...1 review Eliyahu Touger Sichos in English, 1993 A must read for all Jews!
