Barry S. Gourary. From Lubavitch to “770.”
Montclair, NJ: 1986
Est: $100 - $150
Barry (Shalom Dov-Baer “Berke”) Gourary (1923-2005) was the only grandchild of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn. Gourary’s relationship with his grandfather’s successor, R. Menachem Mendel Schneerson, was a source of struggle and friction to himself, the wider Gourary-Schneerson family, and ultimately the Chabad-Lubavitch community as a whole.
The present volume is Gourary’s version of his family’s dynastic history, along with a detailed account of the civil lawsuit concerning the famed Lubavitch library. The memoir was never published.
