Rav Mordechai Schwab, A Tzaddik in Monsey

“When I look at a person, I see a tzelem Elokim, a person made in the image of G-d.” “When I hear a person knocking on the door, I run with the same enthusiasm as if it was Eliyahu Hanavi.” These were axioms by which Rav Mordechai Schwab lived. Many would turn to him for his advice and prayers on their behalf and cannot forget the great respect and care with which he treated them. Having learned under the great Torah teachers: Rav Yerucham in Mir, Rav Baruch Ber in Kaminetz and Rav Chatzkel in Shanghai, Rav Mordechai personified different aspects of their greatness and molded them into his unique and unassuming style. In this volume you can journey alongside this humble tzaddik who saw the divine in every person and embraced the pursuit of perfection in all areas of service to Hashem to the extent where Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky said, “Rav Mordechai’s daled amos is kodesh kadoshim.” Although he constantly tried to keep his service of Hashem private, in this volume you will be privileged to see glimpses of his greatness. Reading about Rav Mordechai will awaken you from complacency and inspire you to grow. You cannot help but to aspire to be a better Jew after reading this book.
