Israel Book Shop, 2012-03-01. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier The first part of this biography is written from a unique vantage point - the gadol's mother. Rebbetzin Sara Finkel, herself a noted and beloved personality as well as a gifted writer, shares with us her memories of a beloved son whom she nurtured and watched grow into a gadol ha'dor. In the second part, Rabbi Yehuda Heimowitz, a respected author and a talmid of Rav Nosson Tzvi, examines the Rosh Yeshiva's life and incredible accomplishments - achieved by a man suffering from a debilitating disease. <br>*How did a boy from Chicago become the Rosh Yeshiva of the Mir in Jerusalem? <br>*How did he build it into the largest yeshiva in the world, home to more than 7,000 talmidim? <br>*Why did the Torah world see such a vast outpouring of love - and thousands upon thousands of "Rav Nosson Tzvi stories" - in the days after his petirah? <br>*And - most important of all - how can we use the inspiration of Rav Nosson Tzvi's unbelievable efforts for Torah to transform our own lives? <br>With more than 100 photographs, many of them rare, and based on dozens of interviews with family members, talmidim, and rabbanim who worked together with him, this is a biography that is at the same time comprehensive and touching, carefully-researched and unbelievably moving: a fitting, multi-faceted tribute to a multi-faceted gadol b'Torah. 20120321.
