Editing Lubavitch (section)

== Quotes from Our Rebbeim About the Town ==
From Sefer Hazichronos: "On one occasion, the Rebbe, the Tzemach Tzedek said: 'Lubavitch is founded on love. In the Gemara there is a discussion: 'Is a name significant or not?' Rabbi Meir holds that 'a name is significant' - he would analyze names (as the Gemara relates about a man named Kidor, and Rabbi Meir said this name hints at improper behavior, as it is written: 'For they are a generation [dor] of reversals'). The founder of the settlement of Lubavitch was called Rabbi Meir, a man of tzedakah and chesed, and through his conduct, he imbued the place with a spirit of love - 'a name is significant.' It is also said: 'Whatever the man called each living creature, that remained its name,' because the life-force of the created being comes through the 'channel' of the correct name. 'Lubavitch' is a 'channel' for chassidic love and friendship. A person must have compassion on himself and others, and each person should help his fellow improve their good middos and ways of serving Hashem according to Chassidic teachings.' These are the words of the Tzemach Tzedek. It is therefore no wonder that 'Chabad' and 'Lubavitch' became synonymous names, enriching and influencing each other."
