EIM HABANIM SEMEICHAH: On Eretz Yisrael, Redemption and Unity
First published in 1943, Eim Habanim Semeichah remains the most comprehensive treatise on Eretz Yisrael, redemption, and Jewish unity. Much of this remarkable work has been proven prophetic by the passage of time. It is truly a priceless treasure.
The saintly author, Rabbi Shlomo Teichtal, originally shared a prevalent, strict Orthodox view which discouraged the return to Zion. The Holocaust, however, profoundly changed his perspective. The annihilation of unprecedented numbers of his fellow Jews forced him to seek explanations. Thus, relying almost exclusively on his phenomenal memory and keen insight, he investigated the matter exhaustively. His conclusions are eye-opening! The Jewish people will find refuge from their troubles, he argues, only if they unite to rebuild the Land. This will bring about the ultimate redemption.
Although more than fifty-five years have passed since its original publication, the message of this book is as crucial today as it was then.
About the Author:
Born in Hungary in 1885, Rabbi Teichtal grew up in a family with an illustrious lineage. Many of his ancestors were great rabbis and Jewish leaders, and he perpetuated the family tradition. His father, Yitzchak, was a noted scholar, teacher and chassid. Yitzchak's father, Yissachar Shlomo (our author's namesake), served as a Rosh Yeshiva all his life and was one of the foremost chassidim of the Rebbe of the Rebbe of Tzanz.
Praise for Eim Habanim Semeichah:
"Many of the sources and ideas in Eim Habanim Semeichah are as relevant today as they were when the book was written. It is an important contribution that this work has been made available to the English speaking public."
