About this Book
The story of the Chein family dynasty, told through stories, documents, and personal journals.
Cherished by the Leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement, R. Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, wrote to a follower: “It would be most appropriate if you would transcribe what you remember from the veteran Chasidim that you had made their acquaintance, such as R. Peretz [Chein] and his son, R. Dovid Tzvi.”
Finally, after many years of research and compilation, the above directive can said to have been accomplished with this handsome volume.
A sizeable amount of the material presented here is sourced in the writings of the Lubavitcher Rebbes, although the better part is based on family memoirs. Laden with images, news clippings, and letters by the Rebbes and more, this fascinating collection of historical gems will surely keep readers delighted.
Includes an Appendix chronicling Chein family roots dating back 2500 years to Jewish life in Babylonia and Spain.
