Full Description
It begins one night: Misha, a down-on-his-luck Russian immigrant, finds a dollar bill on a Brooklyn street. But this dollar is unusual - it has the face of the late Lubavitcher Rabbi. This discovery leads our young man into the strange world of the Hassidic community. Misha penetrates Lubavitch headquarters in Crown Heights and discovers the man who is the driving force behind the Chabad Movement, Rebbe Menahem Mendel Schneerson. Is he the Messiah, or the leader of a totalitarian movement? Hear celebrity criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, members of the Chabad in their "Mitzvah Tanks," and the Rebbe himself in a mind-blowing Chanukah satellite hook-up. THE KING OF CROWN HEIGHTS is a funny and timely demystification of a small but important Messianic community.
