This book unfolds the modern Hasidic movement built by the rabbinical Schneerson family. Through the prism of Chabad portraits, architecture and ceremonial objects, one sees the powerful Schneerson hold over their Eastern European flock, the reemergence of the Chabad movement after the Holocaust, and engagement of public space.
