In this world, people sometimes feel alone; God seems to be hiding his face. Thus it was that thousands of forlorn strugglers, groping in the dark for the hand of the Divine Shepherd, poured out their hearts to the rebbe with the request that he help them find their bearings. The letters in response, whether simplistic or philosophical, are candid, but always compassionate.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, took an insular Chasidic group that was almost decimated by the Holocaust and transformed it into one of the most influential and controversial forces in world Jewry. This superbly crafted biography draws on recently uncovered documents and archives of personal correspondence, painting an exceptionally human and charming portrait of a man who was well known but little understood.

For those in the know.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The problem is with the actual story. I did not have a problem with the delivery or the production.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I was expecting and hoping for more information about the theological differences between the two schools of Jewish thought, not just the time line of what happened.
