Vet­er­an Chabad emis­sary to Yor­ba Lin­da and sit­ting pres­i­dent of the Rab­bini­cal Coun­cil of Orange Coun­ty and Long Beach, Cal­i­for­nia Rab­bi David Eliezrie offers an intrigu­ing insight into one of the most suc­cess­ful and influ­en­tial move­ments of con­tem­po­rary Judaism:

The Secret of Chabad: Inside the World’s Most Suc­cess­ful Jew­ish Move­ment illu­mi­nates the key ele­ments of Chabad Lubav­itch’s mod­ern phe­nom­e­non. Draw­ing on inter­views with shluchim and lead fig­ures the world over, his­tor­i­cal tra­jec­to­ries and events, and the author’s per­son­al expe­ri­ence, this book has caught the atten­tion and admi­ra­tion of promi­nent (non-Lubav­itch) Jew­ish voic­es like Den­nis Prager and Alan Der­showitz. The Secret of Chabad comes out Sep­tem­ber 2015 from The Toby Press; we’re already fas­ci­nat­ed by the book cov­er alone!
