468: The Sixth Chabad Rebbe’s Radical Bet on Jewish Continuity with Rabbi David Eliezrie

B”H My guest today is Rabbi David Eliezrie, author of the newly released and highly acclaimed book Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe Saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance . This is a fascinating conversation that will give you a much deeper appreciation for the sixth Chabad Rebbe’s impact on Judaism as we know it today — from Jewish education, to communal leadership, to the very survival and rebuilding of Jewish life in America and beyond. And as you’ll hear throughout this interview, many of the battles he fought were also financial. You’ll hear many episodes, some of them obscure and unknown. For example, how sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, went out on a financial limb to save what some might have considered “the competition” — one of the most important Torah institutions in America at the time, Yeshivas Torah Vodaath. Rabbi Eliezrie is also the author of the highly popular book The Secret of Chabad , which was recognized by the National Jewish Book Awards. He serves on the board of the Jewish Agency for Israel, has been active in global Jewish affairs for decades, and has served as a Chabad shliach in Yorba Linda, California for over thirty years. And in what felt like a special bonus for my audience, Rabbi Eliezrei also candidly shared some of his own stories of financial struggle, miraculous outcomes, fundraising, risk-taking, and bitachon along the way. You’ll want to listen and internalize his life lessons. Here’s Rabbi David Eliezri.
