Item Description:

“Anyone who can survive 70 years as a rabbi deserves a lecture,” begins Rabbi Wein. “And anyone who can survive 70 years as a rabbi in Jerusalem deserves a double lecture.” Because Rabbi Shmuel Salant did exactly that, Rabbi Wein details his biography in two parts. In the first, he tells the amazing hashgacha that brought him from Eastern Europe to the Holy Land, complete with the “chance” meeting with Sir Moses Montefiore, the beginning of a friendship that would change the face of Jerusalem.
