	Holy Daze
		As thousands of Lubavitcher Hasidim gather in Crown Heights for the High Holidays to ask forgiveness for their sins and pray for a better year to come, a growing number of the younger generation aren't repenting.
		Lubavitch's emphasis on Messianism--the in-your-face belief held by many that Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died in 1994, could have been the Messiah--as well as their unique commitment to missionary work, sets them apart from other Jews.
		While some Lubavitchers are venturing outside the community laden with baggage from a messianic and scapegoat past, others, in the spirit of their missionary upbringing, are desperately reaching out to them.

	A Brief History of Lubavitch Messianism
		Throughout his entire leadership, the Rebbe frequently mentioned that this was the seventh generation and that of the redemption and, using his father-in-law as model, made constant reference to "the Rebbe" and "the leader of the generation" as Moshiach.
		In general, if one is affiliated with Lubavitch to the extent that he performs the ritual handwshing at his bedside each morning (rather than at a sink), then he is almost certainly carrying enough Lubavitch characteristics to be perceived as mainstream.
		A student who was raised in Lubavitch educational institutions and is now attending a Lubavitch institution while living away from home will unquestionably believe that the Rebbe is Moshiach, even if he or she has never been told this by a parent or educator.

		Local Lubavitch leaders estimate that tens of thousands of people from all walks of life, including non-Lubavitchers and even many non-Jews, will arrive at the house, the Ohel Chabad Lubavitch Center, and wait for hours to file into the structure, known as an ohel, to pray at the rebbe's grave.
		The Lubavitch movement is known for its intense study of Talmudic and philosophical texts and for its commitment to spreading its style of Judaism.
		The Lubavitch movement is now overseen by a committee of senior rabbis who still recognize the rebbe as their spiritual leader.

		Festinger's approach fails to pay sufficient attention to the perspectives and interpretations of followers, who are seen by him as irrational and driven by forces beyond their understanding.
		The case material illustrates the fact that such an intense religious group as Lubavitch do not follow teachings blindly but are sane people who try to reason their way through facts and doctrine in pursuit of understanding.
		Lubavitchers dealt with this failure of prophecy by appealing to a number of post-hoc rationalisations.

	On False Messianism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Yet not only do Lubavitchers take for granted that the Sdei Chemed agreed with everything written to him-and even endorsed it all-they present the words of the obscure rabbi to unsuspecting audiences as if they were the very words of the Sdei Chemed himself.
		To be sure, Lubavitchers try to get around this problem by creatively manipulating the text and its attendant concepts, but the only real result of their clever sophistry is the mockery they make out of a critically important passage in the Mishneh Torah, the only halachic discussion of Moshiach in rabbinic literature.
		Of course, an entire camp of Lubavitcher chasidim has sidestepped all of these problems: they claim that the Rebbe never died in the first place, that he is still alive, if not physically then at least in some halachic sense.

	KtB - Still Seeing the Rebbe
		What made the Rebbe of interest far beyond the precincts of Lubavitcher hasidim was the radical assertion by many of his followers (and, according to some, it was an assertion he did not discourage) that the Messiah they were hastening was none other than Rabbi Menachem Mendel himself.
		Had Lubavitch been like nearly all other hasidic groups, the death of their leader would have led to the ascension of a new rebbe, commonly the son or son-in-law of the late leader.
		His nephew, son of the late rabbi who had headed the Lubavitch yeshiva and who once had been Menachem Mendel's only rival and, in the minds of some, the heir apparent when the Previous Rebbe had died, was not a candidate.

	What is the Secret of Lubavitch Success?
		For many people, Lubavitch is known for its curbside urging of Jews to increase their level of religious observance, whether by ritual actions or kind deeds.
		Last Monday, the Lubavitch group marked the 50th anniversary (according to the Jewish calendar) of the death of the sixth rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and the succession of his son-in-law, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the seventh and last rebbe in a line going back to the group's founding in the 18th century.
		In the 1980's many Lubavitchers, seeing that the rebbe had no son or designated successor, took those messianic expectations a step further and concluded that the rebbe himself was the Messiah.

	j. - Lubavitchers organize to seek lost Russian property
		MOSCOW -- The Lubavitch movement is planning to ask the Russian government for properties that used to belong to the group.
		With this goal in mind, the movement is reorganizing itself to show the government it is far from being a new group in Russia and that its current activities represent the continuation of a two-century-old Lubavitch presence in the country.
		After the Russian body is created, Lubavitch officials want to launch a broader organization that would operate throughout the former Soviet Union, where the Lubavitch movement runs dozens of Jewish day schools and Sunday schools.

		Lubavitch Hasidim may be torn over the earthly status of their erstwhile rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, but if there is a matter on which the movement’s adherents can find common ground, it is the sacredness of the sect’s world headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
		Lubavitch Hasidim bought it in 1940, shortly after the sixth Lubavitcher rebbe, Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn, and a group of his followers left the Soviet Union to escape Nazi persecution.
		Few are better able to address the special place the building holds for Lubavitchers than Max Becher and Andrea Robbins, a husband-and-wife team that has worked for the past 10 years to assemble a photographic record of the building and its unusual trajectory.

		A federal judge in Washington, Royce Lamberth, ruled that the Brooklyn-based group, known officially as the Agudas Chasidei Chabad, could pursue a court case in America seeking the return of thousands of pages of handwritten teachings and other records captured by the Nazis in Poland in World War II and eventually seized by the Russians.
		An attorney for the Lubavitchers, Marshall Grossman, said he was "delighted" with the ruling.
