"Chassidim have always appreciated the power of story-telling, it's ability to impress and absorb. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a Chassidic story is worth a thousand pictures. However one must possess that special ability that Hanoch Teller has. Soul Survivors is a powerful lesson of ethics that both old and young will love to learn and review. It is no easy task to deal with abstract ethical concepts and to present them in a tantalizing, convincing format without a trace of moralizing. Hanoch Teller has overcome the difficult task of telling true stories with a flair, without compromising their authenticity. To read Soul Survivors is to be transported to other parts of the world, to other times, or to encounter the unexpected in your own backyard and then to leave far richer for the experience, richer in insights into human nature, richer in understanding Jewish values, richer for having explored the upper reaches of human attainment. It is my hope that this book will help to kindle aspirations to that which is holy to our people, in those who crave inspiration." - Rabbi Levi I. Horowitz, The Bostoner Rebbe
