The Lubavitcher Rebbe on How to Be a Leader

home.jemedia.org
Every person is expected to become a 'ruler' over his surroundings -- to make it a proper dwelling place for G-d. At first, a person is ruler only over himself. Later, he becomes 'ruler' and leader of his family. Then he goes on to become a leader in his community and so on. At each stage he must accustom himself to place the new majority's needs before the previous "individual's" needs.
We see this also with the Rebbe's father-in-law, the Previous Rebbe: When he became leader of Chabad-Lubavitch, he concerned himself with the needs of every Jew, without exception. He worked tirelessly, giving up vast amounts of time from his own personal Torah study, in order to help Jews of all backgrounds, and to ensure that every Jewish child would receive a solid Jewish education.
"His children must continue his life." We must seek out the common good of all Jews, without exception. And ultimately, this will benefit the individual, as well.

The Rebbe, of blessed memory, represented true "greatness" in every sense of the word.

I'm not Jewish , but it is obvious the Rebbe was a moral leader for all peoples . May his memory be blessed eternal .

You clearly see the moral difference of his teachings as compared to the garbage spewed from the islamofacists ayatolahs from Iran who only preach death, hate and destruction. God bless his soul. Z"L.
