The Visual Culture of Chabad (Paperback)

This book presents the first full-length study of a vast and
complex visual tradition produced, revered, preserved, banned and
destroyed by the Hasidic movement of Chabad. This rich repository
of visual artifacts provides the archaeological data for an
analysis of how the movement consolidated its influence during a
period of political and economic transformation and survived its
immigration to America in the wake of the Holocaust. As one of the
most self-documented and media-preserved modern Jewish movements,
Chabad's rich material culture, including the hand-held portrait,
the 'rebbishe' space, the printer's mark and the public menorah,
afford scholars a wider range of interpretive strategies for
understanding the movement and the role of the visual experience in
religion.
