Living Legend: Rabbi Grossman of Migdal Haemek

by Rabbi Nachman Seltzer

How did the 21-year-old newlywed from Meah Shearim form an immediate bond with street kids, gangsters, and hardened prisoners?

How did he transform a crime-ridden city into a place of hope, learning, and Torah?

How did he begin with 18 boys who needed a home, and create a vast empire of chesed for tens of thousands of children?

How did Rav Grossman of Migdal HaEmek become a symbol of Jewish unity, revered by religious and non-religious alike, beloved by all of Klal Yisrael.

How did he become a Living Legend?

In one amazing story after another, bestselling author Rabbi Nachman Seltzer shows us the mesirus nefesh, compassion, vision and incredible siyata d’Shmaya that have always been a part of Rav Yitzchak Dovid Grossman’s life. And as we are entertained and engaged by these truly remarkable stories, we will also be learning just how he did it — through the incomparable power of absolute Ahavas Yisrael.

And engaging account of one man’s vision and how he achieved success. I found it rather simplistic, though, because it certainly was a much more endeavor than the author was able to describe without losing his audience.
