Stories of the Rabbis

In generation after generation, there are brilliant and inspiring Rabbis who have shaped Jewish tradition as we know it. Some faced persecution with great courage, some accomplished staggering works of scholarship in their time, and some creating lasting impressions that reverberate through the centuries. Meet Rashi, the father of all Torah and Talmud commentary and champion of women’s learning in the Middle Ages. The Chofetz Chaim, who taught a nation how to speak with kindness. Rabbi Lau, who survived the Holocaust at the age of 2 and went on to lead the State of Israel, and so many more. Each Rabbi is brought to life in full-color illustrations and their entries include dates, locations, and more. Taken together, these stories create a rich history of faith and tradition.
