By Rabbi Yitzchak Kasnett
Description:

Reb Chatzkel
was Mashgiach in the Mirrer Yeshivah and elsewhere before
World War II, but it was during the Shanghai years that his
stature assumed truly mythic proportions. After the War, the
Yeshivah world of old was gone. It had to be reestablished in
America and Israel. First in America and then in Israel -- in
Mir and Ponevezh -- Reb Chatzkel was one of the great Torah
leaders who never surrendered. Today's magnificent Torah world
is their legacy.
In this definitive biography, Rabbi Yitzchak Kasnett, brings
us face to face with Reb Chatzkel. Years of research, scores
of interviews, endless writing and review went into this work.
And it shows. Reb Chatzkelšs family and talmidim shared their
memories, personal correspondence, and never-before-published
photographs.
This masterpiece brings to life a great man and historic era. |
