“His passing is noted
within Chabad, where he is remembered as an outspoken
supporter for the movement, referring to Chabad as “the
true Zionists.”
Soon after his
inauguration, President Katzir joined his precedecessor,
Zalman Shazar – born Shneur Zalman Rubashov to a Chabad
family in Belarus –at a Chasidic gathering in Kfar
Chabad. Katzir already knew the movement well from his
friendship with Chabad’s Rabbi Shlomo Maidanchik.
Against the backdrop of
continuing tensions following the 1973 Yom Kippur War,
Katzir used the opportunity to inspire enthusiasm for
Israel’s cause, and to encourage the vital role he felt
Chabad needed to take.
“Chabad Chasidim
represent the best of Judaism. You are role models for
the Jewish people. May you be able to continue being
role models with your blessed activities and efforts.”
In an interview earlier
this year with a Chabad publication, Katzir reaffirmed
his affection for Chabad and expressed admiration for
the scope of its activities.”

He added that “their
activity among all

of praise and brings closer hearts and love of others.
Being the president of my office was always open to
Chabad Hassidim, and I wish others would learn from
them.”

“The great
concern of the late Rebbe of Lubavitch is known
for the safety and security of the state Israel,
as well as its opposition to concessions and
withdrawals; But not many know the
depth of his almost daily involvement in the
affairs of the state, and the intensity of the
dialogue who conducted with its top
political-security leaders. The
new book "In the Moment of Truth", written by
journalists Shalom Yerushalmi, Yossi Alitov, and
Aryeh Ehrlich, unveils the close
system of ties that the Rebbe maintained with
the heads of state and IDF champions. The book
reveals how much he was updated in real-time in
the most confidential discussions, and which
influence has affected the decision-making
system in Israel.
… The formula
'territories for peace' is fundamentally wrong.
Concessions and setbacks weaken Israel and
increase the temptation on the part of its
enemies to erode its power in the hope of
extinction. Precisely a determined stand will
eventually cause the Arab world to come to terms
with its existence.”

Lau, who frequently discusses his longstanding

officials took time from their busy legislative
schedules to hail the legacy of the Rebbe, Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson of righteous memory, and
the work of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries as a
unifying and caring force across Israel and the
world.
“The Jewish
religious & secular media are amazed at the
devotion of his followers & his wide political
influence, beyond proportion, both in the US &
in Israel”
"You might be
aware of how deeply connected he (Rebbe
Schneerson) was to its leadership from across
the political and societal spectrum there and
how they’d regularly seek his guidance and
counsel. Not too long after the Rebbe’s passing,
one of my South African colleagues hosted a
couple of important representatives from the far
left in Israel, who bemoaned the loss of the
Rebbe’s guiding voice for Israel."
“Yitzhak Rabin,
like many of Israel's leading statesmen, had

“CHABAD
Chassidism is a movement founded almost two
centuries ago by one of the most famous Jewish
personalities of his time, Rabbi Shnur Zalmen of
Lyadi, White Russia. The present Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson has attained
the status of a WORLD ORGANIZATION with numerous
branches running the gamut from Morocco to
Australia. Thus as we have seen, Chabad
Chassidism is MESSIANISM in its most exalted
state - and ever young and rejuvenating force
with a most up-to-date MISSION.”
“The CHABAD
movement emphasizes a person's role in the
world. The attitude towards the conscious
actions of a person, towards the recognition of
the role of a “co-worker with G-d” lies at the
heart of our teaching”
“A Chassid is
born and educated into a consciousness in which
his whole life and actions revolve around one
point: the Rebbe. Rebbe is my head, brain and
heart, from him and by him my spirit and soul
will suck from God. We have no other reality in
the world besides him.”
“The CURRENT
GENERATION (of CHABAD) has been honored with the
greatest mission - to turn the world into a
dwelling place for G-d, to return the Divine
presence to earth. None of the previous
generations faced a task of such a level and
scale.”
“In one of his
historic talks, the Rebbe said that he was
transferring responsibility for bringing on the
Redemption to us and that we must do so through
our own efforts.”
"The Rebbe
taught that a shliach (rabbis) embodies the
unique characteristics of Moshiach, hence they
are the vital last link to bringing Geulah.
(redemption)"
“I managed to
make it for Rebbe’s funeral. The next day, all
the shluchim from around the world, committed
ourselves to continuing our work to bring in
Moshiach."

“Early
kabbalah was infused with messianism(i.e. end
time calculations, messianic ideas and
visions). It stressed the catastrophic element
of redemption and especially after the expulsion
from Spain the end became as important as the
beginning. The task of hastening
the end even became pivotal for
the mystics, just as it is for (CHABAD)
Lubavitchers today.”

Chabad, although originally opposed to it,
nevertheless has a commanding position in the Chief
Rabbinate of Israel, a supreme rabbinic institution
operating on behalf of the government in the State
of Israel. The leading Rabbis are all Chabad or
support Chabad. Read details [here].
Interestingly, an Israeli CHABAD website reveals
that there is a Chabad Rabbinical Court (Sanhedrin).
