Basyah's Malachim

“When you do a mitzvah, Basyaleh, you create a malach in Shamayim,” Mama taught, “The more you invest in a mitzvah, the more beautiful and precious your malachim will be.”
“The malachim you create are yours to keep,” Tatteh added.
“They will watch over you forever and ever and ever…”

After fleeing the Nazis, Basyah Barg grew up in the dark shadows of Stalinist Russia, yet she was determined to keep Torah and mitzvos with mesirus nefesh. As an adult, she went on to build a new life of chesed in Eretz Yisrael, creating a beacon of hope for all who were zocheh to know her.

The heartfelt writing of Miriam Hersh and stunning illustrations of Deborah Kotovsky have brought Basyah Barg’s unforgettable story back to life. Basyah’s Malachim invites a new generation to join in her journey and become a part of her inspiring legacy.
