summary

Stemming from a Chabad family, Hillel Zeitlin (1871-1942) was a prolific author, journalist and deep thinker. This work contains a host of topics e.g. R. Mendel of Riminov, R. Levi Isaac of Berditchev, the Yid Hakadosh, world events in the light of Chabad thinking, reflections on Breslov, Kotsk and Ishbitza. The final chapter entitled “R. Yoseph, The Old Chazan: How the First Chabadniks Lived,” is a beautiful description of his great-grandfather, a disciple of the Alter Rebbe.
