Rays of Hope. 10/1/23: Brooklyn NY : Artscroll Mesorah Publications. Finding Chizuk In Challenging Times Rabbi Chaim Aryeh Zev Ginzberg is a beloved rav in Cedarhurst who has engaged thousands of readers over the course of decades with his incisive articles in the Torah world's most prestigious periodicals. Rabbi Ginzberg has a genius for weaving together personal stories, Torah hashkafah, encouragement and chizuk, communal issues, and, yes, gentle and spot-on mussar. In this collection of his writings on many different topics, he takes us "up close and personal" with memories of his own nisyonos - including his terrifying bout with Covid, which had him unconscious on life support, with the doctors giving up on him and wanting to pull the plug; as well as the losses of his beloved daughter Sarala and his oldest grandson, Chanoch Jeger, Rabbi Ginzberg's courageous and uplifting responses to these losses - which include his founding of the well-known Ohel Sarala global initiative - as well as to other individual and communal tragedies, give chizuk and meaning to the challenges we all face. Rabbi Ginzberg also has close relationships with many leading gedolim in the US and Eretz Yisrael, and their wisdom resonates in practically every piece. He is not afraid to speak the truth and urge us to grow and improve, until we become the best Jews we can possibly be. 20231010.
