As we approach the 24th of Teves, the yahrzeit of the Alter Rebbe Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), founder of the Chabad chassidic movement we should consider what he aimed to accomplish with his unique path in serving Hashem. He actually explained his goal in great detail in a surprising source a Hebrew affidavit written in reply to his czarist interrogators during his first arrest in 1798.
