WAITING FOR A DIFFERENT MESSIAH

The New York Times has an interesting (and very lengthy) piece on the Jewish Lubavitch group who are looking for their own Messiah. They knowho he is, but he died nine years ago, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. It also explores the interesting dichotomy between messianic and non-messianic Jews, and how Christianity has caused many Jews to leave behind an integral part of Judaism, the looking for the Messiah.
