Yonason Rosenblum, the gifted writer of Reb Yaakov and
Lieutenant Birnbaum, has adapted Betzalel Landau’s classic
Hebrew biography, HaGaon HaChassid MiVilna. The brilliance of
the many-faceted diamond known as “The Gaon” or by his
acronym, “The GRA,” is brought to the fore in this dazzling
account of his life, thought and worldview. This book includes
a new chapter, never before published, about the Gaon and the
Chassidim. |
