Likkutei Dibburim: An Anthology of Talks by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, Volume 1

A record of talks delivered by the Frierdiker Rebbe in Latvia, Poland, and the U.S. during the years 1929-1950.\nThe talks embrace an overwhelming range of subjects, from the Rebbe`s memories of childhood and family to his eloquent and sometimes impassioned passages of exhortation. They include glimpses of faces and sounds that conjure up the mystique of a vanished shtetl world, delicately-drawn vignettes, fascinating chronicles of the early history of the Chasidic movement, and creative instructive expositions of Chasidic concepts.\nOne theme links all of these subjects like a thread of gold: the intense spiritual and personal bond with all his fellow Jews, that is of the essence of the very concept of a Rebbe.
