Join with me to help spiritually revitalize and invigorate the English-speaking soldiers of the I.D.F.
As an active-duty Rabbi of the Golani Combat Brigade serving in the I.D.F., I see firsthand how much our soldiers are thirsting for timely Torah teachings to connect them to their past, inform their present, and impact their future.
Each $25 donation received, will make possible the distribution of the two-volume “A People, A Country, A Heritage-Torah Inspiration from the Land of Israel” to English-speaking soldiers serving throughout the various units of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Together, we can offer a small gift of appreciation and inspiration to the soldiers who are steadfastly protecting the Land of Israel and the Jewish people.
Selected Reviews of Volume I & II
“Ahavat Yisrael and love of the Land of Israel glow throughout the entire book, and I have no doubt that it will be warmly and lovingly accepted by those who are thirsty for the word of Hashem.”
Rabbi David Lau, Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel
“Many thanks for sending me the pre-publication copy of your inspirational book “ A People,A Country, A Heritage”…May you be blessed from on High for your Torah educational endeavors, especially for young people growing up in America and fluent in English.”
Rabbi Nachum Eliezer Rabinovitch ZTz”L Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Birkat Moshe
“Informative, interesting, and inspiring. I recommend this work as a source of valuable information on many topics that will give the reader an appreciation and understanding of many contemporary issues relating to Klal Yisroel, the land of Israel and various mitzvos.”
Rabbi Zev Leff, Rabbi of Moshav Matityahu and Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Matisyahu.
“A uniquely informative and inspiring work of original analysis…the author tackles a vast array of legal and philosophical topics in a lucid and captivating tapestry. Furthermore, Rabbi Gerstein strongly emphasizes issues pertaining to the Land and modern State of Israel. This transforms the book from just “another Parsha book” to one of special significance to the English speaking Torah public. Rabbi Gerstein is to be commended for a novel contribution to English Torah literature.”
Rabbi Dr. Zvi Leshem, Director, the Gershom Scholem Collection for Kabbalah and Hasidism at the National Library of Israel, Jerusalem
“All told, this is a broad collection of first-class scholarship, presented in short, clearly written essays, radiating with a profound love of Torah, the Jewish people, and the Land of Israel.”
Rabbi Chanan Morrison, author of Gold from the Land of Israel
What a week it has been!
I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all those who have taken part in this campaign so far. Thanks to your generous support, we have exceeded the initial expectations for this project and are now beginning to distribute the first round of the 78+ sets of ” A People, A Country, A Heritage” Volume I/II to I.D.F. soldiers.
With best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year ahead and Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Joshua Gerstein
