Why do Lubavitcher Chassidim place such a strong emphasis on the Rebbe? This question comes up often—there are many rabbanim and roshei yeshiva, so why is there such a central focus on the Rebbe, why are his pictures so commonly displayed, where does this strong connection come from, and is it something unique to Lubavitch or does it have roots in earlier Jewish history?
