Author: Rabbi Shimon FINKELMAN

Shlomie Gross evoked joy and excitement wherever he went. He was a successful businessman and an activist for more worthy causes than anyone knew about.
In this unusual, riveting biography, you will come to know the many facets of this unique person. Shlomie was blessed with devoted parents whom he loved and respected and who imbued him with the values that stayed with him all his life, but he faced great challenges growing up.
He had a restless nature and could not focus in the classroom. He went from yeshivah to yeshivah, searching for the success that eluded him. As he matured and married his ezer k'negdo, Shlomie became more adept at channeling his boundless energy positively. And then an encounter with a renowned rosh yeshivah became a life-changing experience. From then on he grew as a ben Torah, and his young family grew with him.
Shlomie was, in his own words, "a regular guy." He was wrong. People who knew him recognized that in his chesed and love of fellow Jews he was one in a generation. He revered gedolei Yisrael and they in turn loved and admired him. They knew that his was the shoulder that every poor man, every widow and orphan, could lean on for support.
He also developed a relationship with troubled teenagers whose lives he helped turn around. They came to realize that everyone could be like Shlomie - and many of them changed their lives because of his encouragement and example.
When you read this book you'll love him and wish you had known him. You'll Say that knowing him would have made you a better person. You'll find yourself saying, "What would Shoimie have done?" And you'll do it!

Author: Judah Lifschitz

As World War II raged and Hitler's Final Solution for European Jewry was brutally implemented, the Jewish people desperately needed a leader- a leader of extraordinary intellect, boundless devotion to the Almighty and His people, and most of all, superhuman mesiras nefesh, self sacrifice. Out of the blazing fires of the Nazi inferno came just such a man: Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam, the Klausenberger Rebbe.
From a young age his diligence and accomplishments in Torah study and his outstanding character marked him for greatness. But it was in the hellfires of Auschwitz, Dachau, and the Warsaw Ghetto that the enormity of the Klausenberger Rebbe's spirit became apparent for all to see. Suffering personal loss, tragedy and brutality that would drive an ordinary person to the depths of despair, the Klausenberger Rebbe soared to immeasurable spiritual heights. Refusing to compromise his observance of mitzvos in even the slightest way, Rav Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam was a defiant inspiration to his suffering fellow Jews. With the war's end, his spirit unbroken despite his suffering, he inspired his fellow survivors, bringing hope to the hopeless and the light of faith to those whose world had been darkened.
In this scrupulously researched and beautifully written biography, we meet this rare and towering giant, a tzaddik whose faith in the face of the overwhelming adversity of the Holocaust will uplift us and inspire us to reach for greater spiritual heights.
This is a combined edition of the previously published two volumes: The Wars Years and Rebuilding.
