"Social Vision ... shows the Rebbe’s manifesto for change to be pragmatic, galvanizing and timely, starting with the local and personal and extending to the global."
-- Sandee Brawarsky of @NYJewishWeek https://t.co/FNuwDGQVa0
"Wexler quotes from the Rebbe’s acceptance of the mantel of Chabad leadership in January 1951 ... making it clear that “love of God alone, without any anchor in the physical world” is “empty of substance.”"
"He also visits the Rebbe’s uniquely positive (for an Orthodox rabbi) view of the women’s movement and the youth rebellions of the 1960s and ’70s, as well as his (often surprising) positions on such contemporary issues as gun control, criminal justice and the environment."
"Wexler traces the Rebbe’s thinking about some of the major questions of the day, such as what role should religion have in civil society? How should the United States see its role in the world at large? How involved should government be in public education?"
"Social Vision ... makes a much bolder argument ... that the Rebbe “deserves to be seen not as a starry-eyed messianic herald, but also as a clear-eyed engineer of social revitalization and repair.”"

"A call to extend one’s vision beyond typical Jewish issues and help fix the entire world ... A social vision of what observant Judaism is supposed to look like ... A breath of fresh air, the oxygen to revive and heal the world in which we live."
