"Despite the spiritual and physical decimation of the Jewish people in our tragic recent past, there are once again young talmidei chachamim who teach and write Torah at the highest levels. Their job is to teach the simple and the learned how to read Hashem's "handwriting" in the events of Jewish history. But only those whose total dedication to both the "Torah of the yeshiva" and the "Torah of the lives of Gedolei Yisrael" is a harmonious unity, can recount the powers of the soul authentically. Hanoch Teller is one of the few who possess both that essential qualification in rich measure as well as a rare felicity and grace of expression. Thousands have found inspiration and fascination in his published work to date. It is the hope of many that the present volume will kindle aspiration towards all that is holy to our people, amongst those who dwell on its contents. Rabbi Nachman Bulman Kiryat Nachliel, Migdal HaEmek
