Notice the comments of Edward Hoffman in his book about the Hasidic Chabad - Lubavitch movement: “The early Hasidim also stressed that in every generation there exists a single Jewish leader, a zaddik [a righteous one], who is the ‘ Moses ’ of his time, one whose scholarship, and devotion to others is unequaled.
Pane tähele Edward Hoffmani märkusi tema raamatus hassidistliku habad - ljubavitši liikumise kohta: „Varane hassidism rõhutas ka seda, et iga sugupõlve ajal on olemas üksainus juutide juht, tsaddik [õige], kes on oma aja ’ Mooses ’, inimene, kelle õpetlaslikkus ja teistele pühendumus on võrratu.
