"Reb Shmuel" For those who know something of this awe-inspiring gaon and sublime tzaddik -- “the Chazon Ish of our generation,” as Rav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv described him -- the very name evokes reverence and affection.

This is a book for them -- but also for the many Jews who know nothing about him. Reb Shmuel’s world is one of breathtaking beauty, filled with goodness and giving, purity and truth, and more than anything, a lifelong thirst to grow ever greater in avodas Hashem.

Although finite words can’t capture this spiritual grandeur in all its depth and fullness, this book gives the reader a fascinating, close-up view of the enthralling mosaic of greatness that is Reb Shmuel Auerbach’s life.
