Bnei HaTzemach Tzedek

Author: Rabbi Amram Bloy Format: 7" x 9½" Hardcover, 512 pages Language: Hebrew Benei Hatzemach Tzedek begins with an introductory chapter about the later years of the Tzemach Tzedek’s nesius, laying out the background for the story of the division of Chabad. We learn that already during the lifetime of the Tzemach Tzedek his sons filled rebbe-like functions. They each had their own shuls in Lubavitch, taught their father’s maamarim, and visited outlying communities on their father’s behalf, where they would say Chassidus and even accept panim. The following five chapters introduce us to each of Tzemach Tzedek’s sons, except for the Rebbe Maharash, who has already been written about at length in Lubavitch sources. A further six chapters tell the stories of the grandsons of the Tzemach Tzedek that functioned as rebbes.
