Founding Father
By Steven Aftergood
In response to Wise Man
(December 17, 1998)
To the Editors:
As I hope other readers will advise you, the founder of the Lubavitch Hassidic movement was not named "Schneur Schneerson," as reported in Alan Ryan's essay on Isaiah Berlin [NYR, December 17, 1998]. His name was Schneur Zalman.
