About this Book
The book is organized around three central themes:
A comprehensive exploration of the Rebbe’s distinctive approach to Torah study, covering the revealed and hidden dimensions of Torah, Rashi’s commentary (on the Chumash), Talmud Bavli & Yerushalmi, Halacha, Aggada, the Rambam’s teachings, and more.
An in-depth look at key Torah topics that the Rebbe revolutionized through his innovative and groundbreaking methods. This section delves into the depth and nuance bringing examples from specific teachings.
A portrayal of the Rebbe’s extraordinary personality and character, revealed through his Torah insights and innovations.
Each of the book’s twenty-five chapters addresses a new topic, supported by thoughtful examples that illuminate the Rebbe’s unique approach to Torah.
The book also includes a compelling introduction, centered around a key question: How is it that the Rebbe’s profound teachings, which span all areas of Torah, have not yet made a more widespread impact on yeshivas worldwide?
One notable section of the book offers an insightful analysis of the final private audience (yechidus) between the Rebbe and the late Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, ob”m. Rabbi Elituv shows that this meeting was essentially a halachic deliberation aimed at rendering a verdict demanding Hashem send Moshiach immediately. In this profound encounter, the Rebbe, as the Nassi (leader of the generation), calls for the immediate and unconditional arrival of Moshiach. Rabbi Eliyahu, acting as a Dayan (halachic judge) at the Rebbe’s request, carefully considers the arguments and ultimately passes that verdict.
