b'With the passing of the fifth rebbe of Chabad the Rashab in 1920, his son Rav Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson (1880-1950), the Rayatz, or the Freidiker (previous) Rebbe, took over the Chabad-Lubavitch movement at a time of crisis. Through the decades of his leadership he expressed a commitment to the ideals of his father in regards to Zionism, while dealing with the practical upheavals of Jewish life including the Holocaust and the founding of the State of Israel.\\nThis was continued by his son in law and successor Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson. While in theory, the opposition to ideas such as \\u2018aschalta digeula\\u2019 remained, practical considerations of caring for the needs of the Jewish People and furthering Jewish observance took precedence.\\nOf special note was the relationship enjoyed between both Rebbe\\u2019s and the third president of the State of Israel, Zalman Shazar.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFor sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:\\xa0 yehuda@yehudageberer.com\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe To Our Podcast on:\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/\\n\\xa0\\nFollow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites\\nYou can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com'
