America and leadership[edit] Escape from EuropeIn 1941, Schneerson escaped from
Europe on the Serpa Pinto, which embarked from Lisbon, Portugal. It was one of the last
boats to cross the Atlantic before the U-boat blockade began,[33] and joined his father-in-
law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New
York. Seeking to contribute to the war effort, he went to work in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, drawing wiring for the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63),[34][35] and otherclassified military work.[36]
Rise in AmericaIn 1942, his father-in-law appointed him director of the Chabad
movement's newly-founded central organizations, placing him at the helm of building the
movement's Jewish educational, social services, and publishing networks across the
United States, Israel, Africa, Europe and Australia. However, Schneerson kept a low
public profile within the movement. He would speak publicly only once a month,
delivering talks to his father-in-law's followers.[12]
During the 1940s, Schneerson became a naturalized US citizen. For many years to come,
he would speak about America's special place in the world, and would argue that the
bedrock of the United States' power and uniqueness came from its foundational values,
7/31/2019 Missing 4,000 World Trade Center Jews Found - Part One
3/21
which were, according to Schneerson, '"E pluribus unum'from many one", and "In God
we trust."[37] In 1949, his father-in-law would become a U.S. citizen, with the Rebbe
assisting to coordinate the event. A special dispensation was arranged wherein the federal
judge came to "770" to officiate at Rabbi Yoseph Yitzchak's citizenship proceedings,
rather than the wheelchair-bound Rebbe travel to a courthouse for the proceedings.Uniquely, the event was recorded on color motion film.[38]
Candidate for RebbeYosef Yitzchok Schneersohn died in 1950. The two main candidates
for leadership were Schneerson and Rabbi Shemaryahu Gurary, Schneersohn's elder son-
in-law. Schneerson actively refused to accept leadership of the movement for the entire
year after Schneersohn's death, but was eventually cajoled into accepting the post by his
wife and followers.[39] On the first anniversary of his father-in-law's passing, 10 Shevat
1951, he delivered a Hasidic discourse, (Ma'amar), and formally became the Rebbe.[40]
"770"Main article: 770 Eastern Parkway
770 Eastern Parkway.Schneerson rarely left Crown Heights in Brooklyn except for
frequent lengthy visits to his father-in-law's gravesite in Queens, New York. A year after
the death of his wife, Chaya Mushka, in 1988, when the traditional year of Jewish
mourning had passed, he moved into his study above the central Lubavitch synagogue at770 Eastern Parkway.
It was from this location that Schneerson directed his emissaries' work and managed the
movement's development. His public roles included celebrations called farbrengens
(gatherings) on Shabbats, Jewish holy days, and special days on the Chabad calendar,
when he would give lengthy sermons to crowds. In later years, these would often be
broadcast on cable television and via satellite to Lubavitch branches around the world.
HonorsOn March 25, 1983, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, the United States
Congress proclaimed Rabbi Schneerson's birthday as "Education Day, USA," and
awarded him the National Scroll of Honor.[52]

"Sunday Dollars"As the Chabad movement grew and more demands were placed on
Schneerson's time, he limited his practice of meeting followers individually in his office.
After his heart attack in 1977, he reduced the frequency of his twice-weekly practice of
all-night Yechidutprivate audiences with whomever would request an appointment,
and from then until 1982 only foreign visitors, and families with a momentous occasionsuch as a wedding or bar-mitzva were allowed private meetingsthough community
leaders and Israeli government officials would also still occasionally meet with the Rebbe
in private for lengthy discussions. These private audiences had generally taken place on
Sundays and Thursdays, starting at 8pm and often continuing until 8am. At such private
audiences he would meet over three thousand people.[53]
In 1986, Schneerson again began to regularly greet people individually. This time, the
personal meetings took the form of a weekly receiving line in "770". Almost everySunday, thousands of people would line up to meet briefly with Schneerson and receive a
one-dollar bill, which was to be donated to charity. People filing past Schneerson would
often take this opportunity to ask him for advice or to request a blessing. This event is
usually referred to as "Sunday Dollars."[54] Beginning in 1989, these events were
recorded on videotape. Posthumously, hundreds of thousands these encounters have been
posted online[55] for public access.
Final years[edit] "Moshiach" (Messiah) fervorSee also: Chabad messianism
Some of Schneerson's followers believed he was the Jewish Messiah, the "Moshiach,"
and have persisted in that belief since his death. The reverence with which he was treated
by followers led many Jewish critics from both the Orthodox and Reform communities to
allege that a cult of personality had grown up around him.[58] Moshe D. Sherman, an
associate professor at Touro College wrote that "as Schneerson's empire grew, a
personality cult developed around him... portraits of Schneerson were placed in all
Lubavitch homes, shops, and synagogues, and devoted followers routinely requested a
blessing from him prior to their marriage, following an illness, or at other times ofneed."[59]
Final declarationsIn 1991, he declared to his followers: "I have done everything I can [to
bring Moshiach], now I am handing over to you [the mission]; do everything you can to
bring Moshiach!" A campaign was then started to usher in the Messianic age through
"acts of goodness and kindness," and some of his followers placed advertisements in the
7/31/2019 Missing 4,000 World Trade Center Jews Found - Part One
5/21
mass media, including many full-page ads in the New York Times, declaring in Rabbi
Schneerson's name that the Moshiach's arrival was imminent, and urging everyone to
prepare for and hasten it by increasing their good deeds.
Death and burialMain article: Ohel (Chabad)
The Rebbe's Tomb: Rabbi Schneerson's burial place next to his father-in-law and
predecessor in Queens, NY.Schneerson died at the Beth Israel Medical Center on June
12, 1994 (3 Tammuz 5754) and was buried at the Ohel next to his teacher and father-in-
law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, at Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, New
York,[66] in 1994.[67][68] The Ohel had been built around the Previous Rebbe's grave in
1950.
[edit] Ohel Chabad-Lubavitch CenterSoon after Schneerson's death, philanthropist Joseph
Gutnick of Melbourne, Australia established the Ohel Chabad-Lubavitch Center on
Francis Lewis Boulevard, Queens, New York, which is located adjacent to the Rebbe's
Ohel. Following the age-old Jewish tradition of turning the resting place of a tzadik into a
place of prayer, thousands of people flock to the Rebbe's resting place every week.[69]
Many more send faxes and e-mails with requests for prayers to be read at the grave site.
[edit] U.S. Government awardsStarting with President Carter in 1978,[70] the U.S.
Congress and President have issued proclamations each year, declaring that Schneerson's
birthdayusually a day in March or April that coincides with his recognized Hebrew
calendar birthdate of 11 Nissanbe observed as Education and Sharing Day in the
United States.[71] The Rebbe would usually respond with a public address [72] on the
importance of education in modern society, and holding forth on the United States'
special role in the world.
Honored by CongressAfter Schneerson's death, a bill was introduced in the U.S. House of
Representativessponsored by Congressman Charles Schumer and cosponsored by John
Lewis, Newt Gingrich, and Jerry Lewis, as well as 220 other Congressmento
posthumously bestow upon Schneerson the Congressional Gold Medal.

On November 2, 1994 the bill passed both Houses by unanimous consent, honoring
Schneerson for his "outstanding and enduring contributions toward world education,
morality, and acts of charity".[73] President Bill Clinton spoke these words at the
Congressional Gold Medal ceremony:
The late Rebbe's eminence as a moral leader for our country was recognized by every
president since Richard Nixon. For over two decades, the Rabbi's movement now has
some 2000 institutions; educational, social, medical, all across the globe. We (the United
States Government) recognize the profound role that Rabbi Schneerson had in the
expansion of those institutions.
Other posthumous commendationsIn 2009, the National Museum of American JewishHistory[74] selected Schneerson as one of eighteen American Jews to be included in their
"Only in America" Hall of Fame.
ControversyMain article: Chabad-Lubavitch related controversies#Menachem Mendel
Schneerson
[edit] WillsThere is considerable controversy within Chabad about Schneerson's will. It is
widely accepted that two wills exist, the first will was signed by Schneerson and
transferred stewardship of all the major Chabad institutions to Rabbi Yehuda
Krinsky.[75] This will is indisputable as it was officially filed and a record of its signing
exists in the archives of New York State.
The second will gave the bulk of control to three senior Chabad rabbis, Rabbis Mindel,
Pikarski and Hodakov (contemporary of Schneerson) and gave Krinsky only a minor
role. The only copy of this will, that was drafted by others, is unsigned. Supporters of
Krinsky argue that the will was merely presented to Schneerson, who chose not to sign
it.[75] Supporters of the messianist camp, led by Leib Groner argue that the will was
signed but that interested parties destroyed or hid the signed copy to gain power.[75]
The first will, signed and dated February 14, 1988, transferred power over all
Schneersons property and personal effects to Agudas Chasidei Chabad (AGUCH)
7/31/2019 Missing 4,000 World Trade Center Jews Found - Part One
7/21
(directed by Krinsky), naming Krinsky as sole executor.[75] Avrum Erlich, a Chabad
chronicler and scholar summarises the dispute:
After the [second] will was prepared, Schneerson said he would look it over beforesigning it, and that is apparently the last that was seen of it. Some Habad members
believe that Schneerson never signed this will... others believe that even if the will was
not signed, it is nevertheless indicative of his general view. There are still others who
believe that a signed copy of the will exists, but was stolen from Schneersons drawer and
hidden by an interested party who hopes to gain by its destruction.[75]
Krinsky was called to testify before the Chabad Beit Din on the authenticity or otherwise
of the disputed second will, but he refused to do so, contending that a local CrownHeights rabbinic body had no authority over international Lubavitch institutions.[75]
Krinsky's stewardship of the movement has been a bone of contention amongst Chabad
followers and emissaries who see him as trying to control the movement by subsuming it
under the umbrella of the AGUCH.[75]
Schneerson as the Jewish MessiahMain article: Chabad messianism
The Chabad messianist flag. The Hebrew word is "Moshiach", meaning
"Messiah".Before Schneerson's death in 1994 many Chabad Hasidim believed that he
was soon to become manifest as the Messiahan event that would herald the Messianic
Age and the construction of the Third Temple. Books and pamphlets were written
arguing that the Rabbi was the Messiah.
In Schneerson's later years a movement arose believing that it was their mission to
convince the world of his messiahship, and that general acceptance of this claim wouldlead to his revelation. Adherents to this belief were termed Meshichist. In the early '90s,
his followers sang the song "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu v'Rabbeinu Melech haMoshiach
l'olom vo'ed!" (English: "[Long] Live our Master, our Teacher, and our Rabbi, King
Messiah, for ever and ever!"), and Schneerson encouraged them with hand motions.[76]
After his stroke the singing and the encouragement became routine.

8/21
A spectrum of beliefs exists today within the Chabad movement regarding Schneerson
and his purported position as the Messiah.[77] While some believe that he died but will
return as the Messiah, others believe that he is merely "hidden." Other groups believe that
he has God-like powers, while a few negate the idea that he is the messiah entirely. The
prevalence of these views within the movement is disputed,[78][79][80] though very few
will openly say that Schneerson cannot be the Messiah.[78]
BeginningsThe belief that Schneerson is the Messiah can be traced to the 1950s; it picked
up momentum during the decade preceding Schneerson's death in 1994,[81] and has
continued to develop since his death.[82] The response of the wider Haredi and Modern
Orthodox communities to this belief has been antagonistic; the issue remains
controversial within the Jewish world.[83][84][85][86]
Among his followersHis followers continue to visit his resting place at the Ohel,
believing, in the words of the Tanyathe seminal work of Chabad Hasidismthat "The
righteous, in their passing, can bless those in this world more so than during their
lifetimes".[87]
However, a minority of his followers take this belief a step further, contending that he is
able to answer their questions from beyond the grave, through a process of bibliomancy
using his collected letters. This practice is known as "Igrot Kodesh", by which answers to
questions are derived through consulting the published collections of Schneersons letters
known as the Igrot Kodesh.[88][89]

The Chabad House
A Chabad House is a Jewish community center, the nerve center of all the educational
and outreach activities of a shliach. Often until the community is big enough for its own
building, the Chabad House is the shliach's house, with the synagogue being their living
room. The term originated in California with the creation of the first such outreach center
on the campus of UCLA by Rabbi Boruch Shlomo Cunin.
There are over 4,000 Chabad centers in 70 countries serving the needs of the local Jewish
communities worldwide.
Belief in the imminent coming of Moshiach is a fundamental Jewish belief as explained
by the Rambam.

Emissaries
Menachem Mendel Schneerson, after becoming Rebbe, and following an initiative of the
previous Rebbe, spurred the movement on to what has become known as shlichus
(outreach work). As a result, Chabad shluchim (emissaries, sing. shaliach) have moved
all over the world with a mission of helping all Jews, regardless of denomination or
affiliation, with all their needs, physical assistance and spiritual, to learn more about their
Jewish heritage, and Judaism as practiced by Chabad.
The movement, following Rabbi Schneerson's call, has trained and ordained thousands of
rabbis, educators, ritual slaughterers, and ritual circumcisers, who are all accompanied by
equally motivated spouses and typically large families, all of whom aim to fulfill their
mandate of Jewish outreach, education, and revival. They look for and recruit Jews back
to Judaism, encourage Jews to strengthen their commitment to Judaism, and assist in
supporting the religious needs of hundreds of thousands of Jews worldwide. Emissaries
have commented on various occasions that "wherever there is Coca-Cola, there is
Chabad". Chabad specifically does not involve itself in conversion to Judaism by gentiles
and generally refers interested parties to other courts of Jewish law.

A Chabad House is a Jewish community center, the nerve center of all the educational

There are over 4,000 Chabad centers in 70 countries serving the needs of the local Jewish
communities worldwide.
