How I Love Your Torah: A Survivor's Torah Insights

What is the key to Jewish survival after the Holocaust? How should Jews approach Torah study, Jewish practice, and the State of Israel after such a tragic period? These are the questions answered in How I Love Your Torah: A Survivor's Torah Insights. A survivor of the Kovno Ghetto and the Kaufering Concentration Camp, Rabbi Zalman Aryeh Leib Schames writes with passion and rabbinic scholarship about the power of Torah study while, at the same time, reflecting on the unimaginable loss sustained during the Shoah. His grandson, Shaul Joshua Lent, places Rabbi Schames' thought in the context of Lithuanian religious and rabbinical culture.With power, pathos, and poignancy Shaul Lent portrays the world of traditional Lithuanian Jewry during its darkest hours as reflected in the life of his grandfather, Rabbi Zalman Aryeh Leib Schames.These volumes constitute a loving tribute to a remarkable man, reflecting both Rabbi Schames' inspirational personal courage as well as his formidable rabbinic scholarship.Reading these books affords one a stimulating educational experience as well as a deeply personal moving one. We are indebted to Shaul Lent for this precious literary gift that he has provided to us.In reality, these books constitute a love letter from a grandson to his Zeide that we are privileged to read.- Rabbi Dr. Elijah J. Schochet
