Moshe Binyamin has already taught you to write well, so beginning today, you should record on paper all that you see of your father's conduct. In addition, if they'll tell you any story about the Rebbes or Chasidim, write them down.\" Hearing these words from his tutor, R. Nissan, at eleven years old, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, later the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, began what would have become a cherished pastime: recording, in organized form, a detailed history of the Chabad-Lubavitch leaders, their students and followers.Drawing his material from documents as well as from unpublished sources, memoirs of participants and family members, such as his father, Rabbi Shalom DovBer of Lubavitch; his grandmother, Rebbetzin Rivkah, and from elder Chasidim whose company he kept in his youth, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak wrote prolifically, chronicling for posterity the rich tradition of his forebears.In his later years and beyond, some of these memoirs were published, in Hebrew and Yiddish, in his books of talks, discourses and letters, and partially collected in his Lubavitcher Rabbi's Memoirs.Events in the Life of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi focuses on a number of crucial events that took place during the lifetime of the founder of Chabad, as well as describing his approach to the communal and social affairs of his day. Like many of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak's discursive writings, it has the formality of reminiscence and attention to detail, portraying a masterfully written account of the era in which Rabbi Schneur Zalman was laying down the foundations of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 4px; margin: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif rgb background-color:=\"\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif justify rgb font-size:=\"\" text-align:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif rgb font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\" padding:=\"\"\u003eBorn into the heart of Communism, Rabbi Joseph I.
