Heaven on EarthReflections on the Theology of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher RebbeAuthor: Rabbi Faitel LevinFor the first time ever, the Lubavitcher Rebbe's theology - the philosophy that spurred the growth of Chabad Chasidism into a worldwide movement - has been encapsulated in one volume for the English reading public.Better known for the social programs he created, the Rebbe's profound genius is brought into sharp focus in this thoughtfully written work.Drawing on the vast treasury of discourses and written works by Rabbi Schneerson, the author explores the metaphysical implications of placing the essence of holiness squarely within the mundane.This radical outlook is then applied to offer a distinctly Lubavitch perspective on Jewish observance , the soul, the afterlife, and Jewish outreach.Heaven on Earth tackles this intellectual task with the layperson in mind, and the author's skillful use of everyday analogies - from laser beams to chocolate ice cream - keeps this heavenly exploration down to Earth.
