The Rebbe: We Need to Go on the Offensive
A journalist's conversation with Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson in the mid-1950's - Part III
By Asher Penn
===================================================================================

In my audience with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=BF6950A9FA9C985B0E0BDAC0BC66A7FD&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], he outlined his plan to win over the American Jew:

* Approach the youth.
* Give the youth the complete truth.
* Stop insisting that American Judaism is in danger, an assertion that does little but place Jewry on the defensive. We need to go on the offensive.

The Rebbe likened the American youth to students divided into three categories:

* Diligent, good learners, with sharp minds who do not need necessarily need a teacher to complete their studies.
* Poor students with weak minds that even the best teachers struggle to help.
* The average student, ready to be guided, taught and molded.

For the true educator the optimal student is the third one, the student who lets the teacher guide and influence him or her. The Rebbe insisted, "when you give them [the youth] the truth, you will succeed."

The Physical World According to Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (Based on the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe)

Which is loftier--spirit or matter? the soul or the body? The teachings of Rabbi Schneur Zalman, founder of Chabad chassidism, extol the first over the second, and then second over the first, offering a unique and life-altering vision of reality
