Unlike tales of heroic feats, this rare collection of anecdotes recounts the seemingly "simple" acts of extraordinary individuals.� 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.
