Rabbi Eliyahu Goldschmidt was a man who made enormous differences in countless lives. He was a respected Torah scholar, an enormously successful yeshivah educator, a profound student of human nature, a man totally dedicated to the service of G-d and to helping people, a man who was admired and respected by all who knew him, and a man whose counsel was widely sought. Several years ago, Rabbi Goldschmidt was urged to share his insights with the thousands of people who could not have the benefit of his formal talks and private conversations. The result was "Dear Daughter," an engaging and valuable book in the form of letters from a loving father to his daughter. Thousands of daughters, mothers, and sisters were equally enriched.
The response to the book was so enthusiastic that the author was urged to write a book for his "Dear Son." He was at work on the project when, suddenly, this great and revered man was taken from us.
In this wise, loving, and provocative book, the author shares his years of experience, counsel, and Torah-saturated outlook with his Dear Son, and he invites every other dear son to read over his shoulder.
Rabbi Goldschmidt's final legacy is a work to read and think about. It will bring enrichment, understanding, and happiness to many a marriage, many a family, and many a friendship.
