This is the wondrous story of Gaon and Chassid R' Yaakov Yitzchak Pik, zt"l, the chassid who would not succumb, neither in times of tranquility nor in times of upheavel. He was driven his whole life by uncompromising adherence to truth, unlimited devotion and attachment to the gerer Rebbes and their teachings, and commitment to disseminating Torah and enhancing its supremacy in Jewish communities. Beginning in Zelov, Poland, through the abysmal darkness of the Holocaust, and during his last fifty years in Los Angeles, he tirelessly convened assemblages to promote pure Torah education and unadulterated Torah life.
