Torah from the Years of Wrath provides a new and essential scholarly contribution by placing Rabbi Shapiras writings in their immediate historical context. Using a wide variety of primary sources, Abramson situates the sermons within the daily experience of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, demonstrating that Rabbi Shapiras often enigmatic discourses contained veiled messagesopaque to later readers, but readily understood by his congregants at the timethat related directly to the traumatic events endured by his Hasidim. Abramsons reconstruction of the micro-history of the Ghetto reveals that Rabbi Shapiras work represents a sustained act of spiritual heroism, helping his followers place their individual tragedies within the cosmic meta-history of the Jewish people, as expressed in the Torah itself.
