A Prophetic Vision

When circumstances don’t make sense, faith is what keeps us anchored. We may not know Hashem’s plan, but we know that He has one for us. He’ll never let us down. Rav Elchonon Wasserman was a gadol b’Yisrael whose wisdom transcended his own times. Possessing both brilliance and daas Torah, he was able to perceive the meaning of unprecedented world events and enlighten those around him. His famed Kovetz Maamarim opened a vista into the future, urging others to see what was happening around them. Although the world has changed drastically since Rav Elchonon first penned his essays, his ideas remain as relevant and as critical as ever. In this ground-breaking translation of Rav Elchonon’s monumental work, his views on a variety of subjects — ranging from emunah and bitachon to chinuch and politics — are presented in an accessible, almost conversational English. Accompanied by addendums by Rav Avrohom Gurwicz, shlita, these essays will open readers’ eyes to an astounding worldview that reads as if it was written today.
