The Resistance Rabbi and the Gift
Warsaw, 1938. With Nazi power surging, a young rabbi joins the Polish underground and becomes an elite fighter.
A brilliant pianist turned bomb specialist becomes his greatest hope—and his greatest risk.
Young Rabbi Eli Morgenstern leaves his yeshiva to join the Polish Resistance as war tensions are rising. Recognized as a highly skilled fighter, Eli navigates deadly raids, covert missions, and the heavy burden of taking human life—all while grappling with his faith and the question of how to act righteously in a world consumed by hatred.
Eli’s life becomes even more complicated when he is assigned to be the bodyguard for a fearless bomb specialist known in the Resistance as “The Gift.” She is Miriam Goldberg, a beautiful concert pianist who has dedicated her life to protecting her Jewish community. While Eli aches for her affection, Miriam’s mind is solely on her work.
Through rising dangers in Nazi-occupied Europe, Eli and Miriam must confront what it means to fight for justice when the world is on the brink of war.
Rabbi Singer’s novel is a heartfelt tribute to courage, resilience, and the search for hope when faith is most severely tested. Accessible to both adult readers and younger audiences studying the Holocaust, this deeply moving story illuminates the quieter, emotional battles fought by ordinary people taking on the extraordinary challenge of saving lives.
