Habad is made up of the Hebrew initials for hokhma, binah v'daath--wisdom, intelligence and knowledge, which are three Qabbalistic sephiroth or "counts" of divinity.
Habad was founded in the late 18th century by the first Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Schneor Zalman of Ladi, who wrote a religious commentary on the Torah called Sefer Ha-Tanya, which became the scriptural foundation for the sect.
Consequently, Habad split into two: a majority believing in the Doctrine of the Resurrected Messiah, and a minority accepting that the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe was dead.

 "The Ultra-Orthodox in Israeli Politics" by Menachem Friedman
However, it is grossly inaccurate to base the entire conflict on a renewal of the historic dispute between Hassidim and Mitnagdim which began in the latter half of the eighteenth century.
Lubavitcher Hassidim were never part of Agudat Israel and their leaders never belonged to the Council of Torah Greats; the Habad school system, from the outset, was part of the state-religious educational system (with internal autonomy) and not the independent system of Agudat Israel.
Moreover, Habad Hassidim consider the Rebbe's blessing to be vital in every step they take throughout life--and how much the more so in an election campaign which Haredim perceived as a test of their legitimacy.

 ESTER11
Habad is in the Sign of the Hated Fourth Generation and its claims and its propaganda cause terrible decrees, God save us, as proven in the Completed Signs.
Habad is the Hated Fourth Generation and it is plaguing thousands of Jewish communities with its hateful presence.
The Tents of Habad were filled with foreign gods but instead of clearing them away from the Tents he encouraged a false cult and had no understanding of the idolatrous evil that lay behind it.

 Expecting the Messiah
Within Habad, a well-financed organization with 30,000 followers in Brooklyn and at least 100,000 worldwide, the expectation of the Messiah's coming has been building since Schneerson in the past few years began exhorting his disciples more and more to actively prepare for the day.
It is not an official tenet of Habad's belief that Schneerson is the Messiah, but many of his followers say outright that he is, and some have petitioned him to "reveal" himself.
Habad's critics also say the group may be creating the conditions for large scale spiritual disillusionment.

 The Phoenix Revisited - The Jewish Community of Russia Since Perestroika: a View from Jerusalem - Theodore H. Friedgut
The Habad Hasidic movement began in the Russian Empire in the late eighteenth century, and with Jewish migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, became a world movement, distinguished by its affluence and its cohesive and disciplined structure.
For their work in the FSU, the Habad activists claim to have a budget estimated at $70 million annually, provided by their movement, with substantial support from Russian-born Israeli financier Lev Levayev, himself a disciple of the movement, who is said to have contributed millions of dollars.
Habad is already moving to put more emphasis on cultural and social activities of a non-religious nature, and recently appointed a young secular historian, Valerii Engel as its executive director for Russia, expanding the activity of FEOR in the secular social and cultural sphere.

One night a dozen or so were videotaped ripping down the fence around the construction site and, in a frenzy, stomping on the fence and trying to rip beams from their place.

Baranes was long ago expelled from Habad for proclaiming the late Lubavitcher rebbe to be divine.
Yet when asked privately whether she knew about Baranes's expulsion from Habad and his felony conviction, she replied, "Of course, everybody knows that." Only her listeners were left ignorant.

 Sefer Esther 3
Mind you, this strong desire to study the Kabbalah directly from the sources, without the filters of Habad Hasidut, was not Habad usage or attitude.
Those born Habad had no independent desires, one was a ‘yesh’ (a ‘something’ that had not purified itself from personal thoughts) he was plagued with human traits.
In the Habad Yeshiva in Brunoi, France, I had prayed many times in my last 2 years there that I be given the kindness from God to know a true teacher who would teach me the higher spiritual secrets of the Book of the Zohar and the Kabbalah.

The Messiah of Brooklyn: Understanding Lubavitch Hasidism Past and Present is the fascinating story of the incredible expansion of the Habad - Lubavitch school of hasidic Judaism under the leadership of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
From a small band of refugees, he built a large, powerful international community of rabbis, emissaries and fervent disciples who committed their lives to his teachings and armed with his instructions lay the foundations of Habad’s messianic agenda.
Primarily focused on outreach amongst Jews as the necessary condition for the “redemption”, Habad earned a reputation as the closest movement that Judaism has to evangelical Christianity.

It was at this point that the Habad school emerged with a communication ethos encouraging the transmission of esoteric to the broad reaches of the Jewish world.
Generally, the response was either to secularize, or abandon altogether, traditional Judaism or to retreat from the threatening modern world into enclave religiosity; by stressing communication, the Habad school opened the way for a middle range response that was neither a retreat into elitism nor an abandonment of tradition.
No wonder why the Habad movement has become so worldly reknown, to the extent that in fact, today there is hardly a place on the face of earth that the movement hasn't reached.

As a result of that meeting in Manchester we became good friends and I went to the house of the head of the Habad in Manchester and his daughter and son-in-law invited me often but they were more interested in business than in God.

 Chabad-Lubavitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chabad-Lubavitch (or Chabad Lubavitch) also known as Chabad, Habad or Lubavitch, is one of the largest branches of Hasidic Judaism and one of the largest Jewish Orthodox movements worldwide, especially in the United States and Israel.
Chabad is sometimes written as Habad in English and in all the phonetic equivalents of the name in all the countries they operate in.
Thus, as an example, Jabad is the Spanish form, particularly important to the Jews of Latin America, most notably Argentina, which has the largest concentration of Spanish-speaking Jews anywhere in the world and therefore has a large Lubavitch presence as well.

 TIME.com: Expecting The Messiah -- Mar. 23, 1992 -- Page 1
Eliezer Schach, one of Israel's leading ultra-Orthodox rabbis, has publicly called Schneerson "insane," an "infidel" and "a false Messiah." The local papers carried Schach's outrageous charge that Schneerson's followers are "eaters of trayf," food such as pork that is forbidden to Jews.
Other detractors fret that Habad's Messianic passions will provoke a schism in Judaism or lead to mass disillusionment, driving believers from the fold.
The crumbling of the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union's demise, explains Habad spokesman Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, "lead one to think that these extraordinary, shattering events are a precursor to something even more cataclysmic."

In his fine introduction to this memoir, Rabbi Naor explains the basic difference between Habad and other branches of Hasidism: "Other Hasidic groups believe the way to God is through...simple faith; Habad teaches that faith must be studied as a science." Since his youth, Alpert has been a zealous student of the Habadic truth.
While general interest in the Habad movement may be limited, it does have a presence on many college campuses throughout the country, and while this is not a guide to Habadic practice, it does give a glimpse into its history, theology, and philosophy.
Gods Middlemen is a brief and highly readable history of the Hasidic movement through the Habad lineage, with a major section of stories about great rebbes and their followers.

From hazardous beginnings, Habad has grown into a worldwide movement that blends mysticism and politics.
God's Middlemen explores some of the beliefs and doctrines, but above all, the charismatic personalities, that have made Habad such a compelling force on the contemporary religious scene.

She makes much of the paradoxes inherent in Habad theology, such as the difference between the world as we perceive it with all its differences and distinctions, and the world as it really is, part of the infinite Divine unity.
