In this unusual collection of poignant biographical sketches, Eytan Kobre opens a window onto fresh vistas of Jewish greatness, introducing the reader to fascinating yet lesser-known Torah personalities, while shedding brilliant new light on some famous ones.


Eytan Kobre is my favorite writer. His writings are articulate, incisive, inspiring and, most important, they express Torah values in their fullest form. I am therefore gratified that a collection of his writings on Torah personalities of our times is about to be published.

Rabbi Aharon Feldman


Over the many years that I have been close with Rav Eytan Kobre, I have always admired his gifted flowing prose and his ear acutely attuned to nuances. These make the biographical sketches in this book a great learning tool for us all, affording us the opportunity to glimpse greatness.

Rabbi Yechiel Perr


Rabbi Eytan Kobre is a brilliant writer who grew up in the yeshiva world and has never strayed even one iota from the proper path he was taught by his great rebbeim. His writings are and will continue to be a super asset for bnei and bnos Torah, and I am excited for him and for Klal Yisrael.
