Less than two weeks after its publication, The Rebbetzin, Rabbi Nachman Seltzers epic biography of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, is already a bestseller. Its the story of the young Holocaust survivor who became, as Rebbetzin Kanievsky called her, the Rebbetzin of the World.
Readers reactions to the book which is 650 pages long, and includes over 300 photographs have been incredible. One woman wrote: Bought the new book [The Rebbetzin] Friday loved it! Read it while in lockdown over Shabbat. Said another: This book is a MASTERPIECE. I am 500 pages in. I could not put it down over Shabbos. Rabbi Seltzer captured the essence of the Rebbetzin so well it is almost like she is alive in the pages. I am blown away and feel like I had her with me all Shabbos.
Rebbetzin Jungreis was famous the world over for giving comfort and wise guidance to everyone she met: prime ministers and prisoners, completely secular and Torah-observant Jews alike. Now, in these harrowing times, she is still giving us much-needed comfort and inspiration in the pages of this book, which so vividly captures her fascinating personality and remarkable life story.
