Some people think about the important issues in life. A few of them work to find answers. Fewer still find them in the wellsprings of the Torah, Halachah, and the profound ideas of our sages and teachers. But how many people have the ability to articulate those answers in a way that will enlighten, inspire, and ease the hearts of the multitudes who seek constructive guidance and advice? For that, we are grateful to Rabbi Yissocher Frand, who comes into our homes now with this, his second masterful book. Modestly, Rabbi Frand insists that he presents few, if any, novel ideas to the reader, that all he does is share the discoveries that have had the most impact on himself. The thousands of people who have enjoyed his lectures and writings will respectfully disagree. This is a book that will open eyes and penetrate hearts. It will influence behavior and elevate aspirations. It will make a positive difference in people's lives. The author knows what bothers people. He deals with troubling and vital issues: the modern scourge of cynicism, parent's struggle with shidduchim, the tension between a Torah life and a bottom line society, preservation of life in an HMO-dominated society. Rabbi Frand finds these issues in the wellsprings of the Torah, halachah, and the profound ideas of our sages and teachers. He articulates them in a way that will ease the hearts of multitudes that seek constructive guidance.
