It looks like an ordinary apartment in Jerusalem. But once you step in, extraordinary things happen. Welcome to the Machlis home. Mordechai and Henny Machlis moved to Israel right after they were married. They knew they wanted to build a beautiful Jewish home. They wanted to welcome visitors. But they never dreamed that they would become famous as the family that hosted more than 100 people (sometimes even 150!) in their apartment every Shabbos. In this book we will see how Rebbetzin Machlis - whom everybody called Henny - managed to take care of so many people while raising her own large family. But more: we will see how she loved every single Jew she met. We will be inspired by her emunah, her faith and trust in Hashem. We will be amazed by the unbelievable things that happened to her all the time, because she knew that she was taking care of all of Hashem's children. "In the Machlis home, miracles happened every day," one of her grandchildren once said. In The Story of Rebbetzin Henny Machlis we'll be amazed and inspired by those miracles of love, caring, and faith.

Menucha Publishers

Selma Meir left the pristine cleanliness and order of life in Germany to become the head nurse at Sha'arei Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, braving epidemic, filth, and war. Schvester Selma, as she was affectionately known, stayed on from what was meant to be a three-year stay, for seventy years, treating the ill, adopting the orphaned, and transforming a primitive, disorganized hospital into a clean, well-functioning one. Here we meet Dr. Wallach, the fiery founder of the hospital; Dudu, the sharp-tongued washerwoman; and, of course, Schvester Selma, tiny, yet determined, devoting her life to helping others.

A Sister in White

From Germany to Poland to England and beyond. She traveled the world and changed the world. Even as a young girl, Judith Grunfeld knew she wanted to do great things for her people. Growing up in peaceful Frankfurt, Germany, though, she had no idea that she would help lead a revolution. As a young woman, Judith traveled to a small Polish town to meet a seamstress by the name of Sarah Schenirer. Together, these two very different women founded the Bais Yaakov movement that changed the face of Torah Judaism. Much later, Judith faced another challenge, as she fought to keep hundreds of children true to their heritage in a sleepy English village that had never seen a Jew before. Judith Grunfeld was elegant, adventurous, and deeply committed to our traditions. Her life changed our lives. Her story will, too. Great Women, Great Stories presents biographies of notable Jewish women the world over. Some of the women are well-known, others are not - but all of them lived lives that were both fascinating and inspiring.
