Rabbi Chaim Dalfin was born and raised in a Chabad-Lubavitcher family and studied in Chabad yeshivot from the time he was a small child. He attended the Farbrengens of the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson for 25 years, and received his rabbinical training at Yeshivat Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch in Brooklyn, New York, where he was a protégé of Rabbi Yoel Kahan, and during which time he studied with numerous Chabad luminaries.
Today, Rabbi Dalfin is an internationally known teacher, historian and ethnographer of Chasidism, and the author of fifty books, including: A Model for Leadership (1998), on the seven Lubavitcher Rebbes; LubavitchSpeak (2012), a dictionary of words, sayings, and colloquialisms of Chabad-Lubavitch Chasidism; and Habad Portraits (2014) on interesting people, events and curiosities in Chabad Chasidism.
