The border patrol took a close look at our passport. “Something’s wrong,” he said.“What could be wrong?” I could tell we were about to be shattered once again. My heart was pounding. I was holding my four-year-old daughter, who was burning up with fever from the long wait and the freezing temperature.

Learning about the great personalities of Tanach, we find ourselves in awe. Inspiration, though, generally only lasts when you realize that the lives, struggles, and challenges of these greats, find parallels within our own lives and our own challenges.
As you will discover in these pages, the most crucial battles that were fought for Klal Yisrael were often fought by great Jewish women. This book reveals often little-known aspects of the lives of some of the most well-known righteous women of Tanach—like Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel, Leah, Tamar, Esther, and Rus—and uses them to tell their stories anew. Then, after every chapter about these great women, readers will be introduced to a contemporary Jewish woman who walked or walks in their footsteps, and hear her story—women like Rebbetzin Miriam Salomon, Lady Amélie Jakobovits, Mrs. Gigi Weiss, Mrs. Rachely Plancey, and Mrs. Sarah Rivkah Kohn, among others.Yes, the wisdom, compassion, and courage of the mothers and heroines of the Jewish People are present in every generation.
Written by world-renowned lecturer and author Rabbi Y. Y. Rubinstein, Truly Great Jewish Women—Then & Now is a book for every Jewish house-hold. It is a book that will educate and encourage you, as you rediscover the women who created Klal Yisrael, and become inspired by women of our times who carry on the mission of our holy foremothers.

Which mother has not felt that twinge of panic when their toddler goes missing momentarily?You turn your head for a second, and a little one can make a quicker getaway than students exiting a classroom at the sound of a recess bell. Almost always, children are thankfully found unharmed – they climbed behind the sofa, they hid in the closet, or they ran to the next aisle at the supermarket... Shauli Mordehai was a typically active toddler who enjoyed the disappearing act. So it followed that his house was extra, extra “child-proofed” with all the safety mechanisms available at the time. And it goes with out saying that there was ALWAYS at least one adult watching Shauli, his twin, Daniella, and their three-year-old sister, Eveline. Usually, it was two or three adults on call.
The Mordehai household continued its “active duty” watching the twins, until one day, the unthinkable happened. Who could have imagined that a little boy not even two years old could UNLOCK and OPEN a sliding glass door – in the space of a few seconds that the caregivers focused attention away. That sliding glass door, unfortunately, led to an unused, backyard built-in swimming pool. The pool was secured with a taught tarp, but one small area had become loose. Shauli followed a ball that fell under the tarp, and then he fell into the pool, where a few inches of rain water deprived him of life-giving oxygen.
This book chronicles Shauli’s life following the accident, and shows how a “regular family” developed super-human strength. The Mordehais, along with an amazing cadre of volunteers, never gave up hope, and never wavered in their immutable faith in the Master Healer. Learn More
