Beit Rebbe
Beit Rebbe (or Bet Rabi) (Hebrew: בית רבי, "House of the Rabbi") is a book of Chabad Hasidic history written by Hayim Meir Heilman, published in Berditchev in 1902. The work is seen as among the first to establish a Hasidic tradition of historiography.[1][2][3]
The book chronicles the lives of the first three leaders of the Chabad dynasty,[4][5] as well as their families and students. Among the topics covered in the book are the authenticity of the portrait of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad.[6]
