| To an astonishing
degree, this book presents a fully rounded portrait of Reb Yaakov. The
author has drawn from hundreds of interviews and thousands of
recollections to fashion a portrait of his life and personality. The
reader feels rooted to the soil from which Reb Yaakov grew and at home
in the many environments where he flourished. And the reader sees how
a man saturated with Torah knowledge and the accumulated wisdom of its
sages can relate that rich tapestry to both modern people and emerging
dilemmas. As one turns the pages of this magnificent book, one is riveted to it. On the last page the reader is warmed and elevated by the conviction that “How fortunate we were to have had him among us, and how doubly fortunate that so much of him could be compressed between the covers of a book.” * * * About the Author: Yonason Rosenblum is a scholar, editor, and author from Chicago, who lives with his family in Jerusalem. He benefited from the extensive research and cooperation of Rabbi Noson Kamenetsky, a son of Reb Yaakov. |
