Baumgarten, Dovber

בוימגרטן - דובער

Dovber Baumgarten — Activist

This summary is drawn from the Rebbe's letters to him (about 5718–5720, 1958–1960); I did not find a published biography.

What the letters show

Every Jew's inner purity. The Rebbe taught that every Jew possesses an inner purity that may become concealed but is never lost (IK 5545), and that true growth begins with chassidus — selfless care for others (IK 6217).

Spreading Torah. He encouraged using every available medium, including local newspapers, to spread Torah (IK 5858), and rescuing unused rare seforim by exchanging them for Kehot publications (IK 5711).

Chassidus. On the discussion of whether chesed or gevurah came first in creation, see IK 7320.

Sources: the Rebbe's letters cited above.
