THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

The "Chabad" movement is con-
sidered to be the intellectual move-
rn'•nt in Hasidism. It was founded
by the famous Rabbi Schneor Zit]
man of Liady, and has a tendency
to meditate and engage in contem-
plation of Kabbalistic themes.
— The word "Chabad" is an abbre-
viation, of three words and is com-
posed of the first letter of each of
them. The three words are Choch-
ma (wisdom), Bina (understand-
ing) and Da'as (knowledge). The
wisdom referred to is a wisdom in
its potential stage like the flash of
an idea. The understanding refer-
red to. is one of deep reflection.
The knowledge referred to is that
state of mind whereby the idea be-
comes a part of the person him-
self. The contemporary Lubavitch
Hasidim come from this move-
ment.

astronomer, geographer and phi-

Gans wrote that the first -contact
between Asia, Europe and Africa
with America took place some 3,000
years ago when the navies of Solo-
