Lives Noble Deeds |
We learn how
the truly great lived their lives with a sense of inner
nobility that carried them through challenges both great and
small.
Why did Rav Yisroel Zev Gustman insist on watering the plants of
his yeshivah garden himself? How did Rav Shlomo Halberstam, the
Bobover Rebbe, cleverly persuade a debtor to pay his bills? Why
did an aged Rav Chaim Shmulevitz brave fierce winds and rain to
attend the simchah of a man he hardly knew? Why would the Baba
Sali delay a Yom Tov meal for hours, just to host a young student?
Rabbi David Silber does more than tell these stories. Each
inspirational narrative is accompanied by an authoritative
biographical sketch giving a meaning unique to the individual it
presents.
Chassidic Rebbes, Roshei Yeshivah, Sephardic leaders – all are
here, sharing their wisdom, their wit and their spiritual valor.
In a world where selflessness and nobility of spirit are
overlooked, these behind - the scenes stories shine with a charm
all their own. |
