An amazing array of 46 literary portraits of spiritual heroes
who, in the face of overwhelming odds, maintain their religious
beliefs and make supreme personal sacrifices. These stories are
imbued with a sense of humor, and present folktales and legends
of heroes and rabbinic masters whose nobility and heroism convey
the essence of Torah values. Their message of hope and faith inspires
us and penetrates our hearts.
The author takes us back in time -- to 17th-century England and
Ukraine, to 19th-century Russia and Poland, to Spain and the Ottoman
Empire, and to Nazi-controlled Europe. She shows us how prayer
has a positive impact on our lives, how to improve our character
traits, how to achieve higher standards, and how to cope with
life's daily challenges.
