In 1969, Mr. Zalman Jaffe, a businessman from the United Kingdom, regaled readers with animated portrayals of his visits with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin with the publication of a book that he titled My Encounter with the Rebbe. With a keen eye for the ironic and unusual, Mr. Jaffe's diaries written intimately and descriptively and sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor would be published yearly, resulting in twenty-six volumes. Counted amongst his loyal readership were none other than the Rebbe and Rebbetzin! Today, these highly acclaimed and voluminous diaries constitute a rare firsthand account of the Rebbe's activities and modern Chabad-Lubavitch history.
