 Messiah in Our Times? Proclamations of Moshiach in Crown Heights, New York   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, as Rebbe, dominated the Hasidic group known as the Lubavitchers (Chabad) in his lifetime for more than forty years and continues to do so now even after his passing in 1994.
The Rebbe's role as Messiah and leader did not end with the events of 1994; countless Lubavitchers still await Schneersohn's return as the Redeemer of the Jews while many others in the community and abroad say the Rebbe's qualifications as possible Messiah ended with his earthly death.
This paper explores the roots of Chabad's claim that their leader is the Redeemer of the Jews and how this movement played out over the course of more than four decades, culminating in a fascinating theological battle that may divide a still-thriving Orthodox community.
