Toward a Meaningful Life is a spiritual road map for living based on
the teachings of one of the foremost religious leaders of our time:
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Head of the Lubavitcher movement for
forty-four years and recognized throughout the world simply as "the
Rebbe," Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who passed away in June 1994, was a
sage and a visionary of the highest order.
Toward a Meaningful Life gives people of all backgrounds fresh
perspectives on every aspect of their lives--from birth to death, youth
to old age; marriage, love, intimacy, and family; the persistent issues
of career, health, pain, and suffering; and education, faith, science,
and government. We learn to bridge the divisions between accelerated
technology and decelerated morality, between unprecedented worldwide
unity and unparalleled personal disunity. Although the Rebbe's teachings
are firmly anchored in more than three thousand years of scholarship,
the urgent relevance of these old-age truths to contemporary life has
never been more manifest.
At the threshold of a new world where matter and spirit converge, the
Rebbe proposes spiritual principles that unite people as opposed to the
materialism that divides them. In doing so, he continues to lead us
toward personal and universal redemption, toward a meaningful life, and
toward God.
