Memoirs of Chief Rabbi Binyamin Eliahou Gorodetsky

The Biography of Grand Rabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky, a true historical testimony, is finally accessible thanks to God, in its French version.

This book recounts the life and various missions of the man designated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe as his "Authorized Representative." He undertook these missions with his head held high, with a clear vision for the development of Jewish communities in Europe and Israel. Sixty years of action led, among other things, to the creation of numerous Jewish institutions (particularly in France, Europe, North Africa, and Israel) that Chief Rabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky established and supported with passion and competence throughout his life.

Even before the Second World War, this extraordinary man, who never wavered in the face of adversity and threat, persevered in his tireless efforts to ensure the spread of Judaism and to provide assistance to members of his people, first in Soviet Russia and then throughout the world.

He was the driving force – under the Rabbi's guidance – behind the establishment and development of the Lubavitch movement in France.

This book, teeming with anecdotes and accurately describing the situation of Judaism during this turbulent period, truly reveals the extent of the actions of Grand Rabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky and delivers an authentic lesson in courage and dedication.
