What is a Rebbe? What is a Chassid? Why are Chassidim following their Rebbe? How is it that a Rebbe can dictate the life of his Chassid? Why do Chassidim leave all their comforts and familiar surroundings to go to far away places for life, just to follow the Rebbe’s wishes?
In 1948 Rabbi Yitzchok Groner, O.B.M, left his home and family in Brooklyn for a 50 hour flight to far away Australia at the wish of his Rebbe, the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson to help the Jewish community there.
Ten years later he settled in Australia at the request of the present Lubavitcher Rebbe, never to look back, till his last day in the summer of 2008.
In an open hearted conversation, Rabbi Groner tells his tale and answers all of the above questions as it pertains to him personally and how it affects all the Chassidim. What drives them and what makes them do all those things that bring them to Mumbai India, or Vladivostok Russia.
A rare glimpse into the hearts and minds of Lubavitcher Chassidim, and into what makes them tick.
Please, we want to see more of it.
