A Movement on Trial

From the Rebbe?s first public references to the theft of Lubavitch?s treasured manuscripts in the summer of 1985, it was clear that this was not merely a legal challenge, but also as a spiritual struggle over the soul of the movement, and over the very definition of what a Rebbe is.

A Movement on Trial begins to pull back the cover on a painful yet fascinating saga. The Rebbe?s ultimate victory - or in the Rebbe?s words, "the victory of the books" - and the celebration that followed have been forever enshrined in the narrative of the Lubavitch movement in modern times.

Experience events as they unfold, together with Chasidim at 770 - from the Rebbe?s first talk on the subject through the court battle, the victory, the books? return, and the Rebbe?s post-victory addresses on the subject.
