Jerusalem Post – How Did Chabad Go From Hassidic Subgroup to Global Jewish Phenomenon?

Written by Rabbi Dr. Levi Cooper, also known as the Maggid of Melbourne (Pardes Faculty) – How did Chabad go from hassidic subgroup to global Jewish phenomenon? Ramash was truly following in the footsteps of his predecessors. Almost anywhere you go in the world, you find Lubavitch. How did a hassidic subgroup that did not stand out for its size and impact before the Holocaust become a worldwide phenomenon? The key to answering this question may lie in tracking the geographic movements of Lubavitch leaders over the last century.
