Visitors streamed to them for guidance and blessings; leading Rabbonim treated them with reverence. Living in a humble shack, poverty clung to them like the dust of the surrounding Jezre'el Valley. Childless themselves, they cared for cast-off children wi

Artscroll/Mesorah

From the author of the bestseller Holy Woman comes Lights from Jerusalem. Like Holy Woman, the stories in this volume both fascinate and inspire. Its wisdom is gleaned from: a paralyzed educator who writes books with his eye movements; from a mother of 14 children who feeds 200 guests every Shabbos; from 75 orphans in Calcutta; from a Nobel Prize winner; from a Jerusalem Kabbalist; and from a colorful cast of characters whom the author has encountered in her epic spiritual journey. Authored from her 900-year old home in Jerusalem, Sara Yoheved Rigler's writings plumb the depths of human nature and aim toward the heights of spiritual aspiration. Her own 17 years of seeking took her from Brandeis University in the turbulent sixties around the world until, in 1985, she heard an Orthodox rabbi speak about "love of God." That led her to Jerusalem, where she was amazed to discover the depths of Torah Judaism. In the more than 50 selections in this book, Sara Yoheved Rigler shares with the reader her ever-fresh wonder and love for the transformative power of Judaism. One of the most masterful writers in the Jewish world, she keeps the reader glued to the page. And from the page, she catapults the reader upward.

Sara Yoheved Rigler, one of the leading lights of Torah literature and the author of the bestselling biography Holy Woman, opens our eyes to Hashem's boundless love and caring as we uncover His "heavenprints" in these unusual, captivating true stories and essays.

The Machlis family hospitality is legendary. Every Shabbos they fit 150 or more people in their small Jerusalem living room, preparing for their guests over 40 chickens, three different kugels, countless salads, four desserts, and, of course, gefilte fish, chicken soup, and cholent-- both traditional and vegetarian. Brooklyn-born Henny Machlis was at the heart of this amazing weekly adventure. But, as author Sara Yoheved Rigler, bestselling author of Holy Woman and a friend of Henny's, discovered as she interviewed Henny's fourteen children, relatives, students, and friends, the Shabbos hospitality was just one glowing facet of the multi-faceted diamond that was Rebbetzin Henny Machlis. A master of prayer, a virtuoso in chesed, an adept in childrearing, a wise Torah teacher, an expert at working on middos, and a successful shadchanit, Henny Machlis regarded a life of Torah and mitzvos as a great treasure that she was eager to share with everyone. And her emunah, her faith in G-d's love and providence? That was where her light shone the most brightly. She lived on the Planet of Emunah, a place where miracles were everyday occurrences, because she knew, really knew, that only Hashem is in charge and He can do anything. And, for Henny, He often did. Like a steaming bowl of chicken soup, this book will satisfy you. Comfort you. And heal you -- in a way that only Rebbetzin Henny Machlis could. Sip it. Savor it. And be inspired and transformed.

Emunah With Love and Chicken Soup: Henny Machlis The Brooklyn-born girl who became a Jerusalem legend

Sara Yoheved Rigler has discovered a Secret Society. Qualifications for membership include Holocaust-related recurring dreams, panic attacks, fearsome flashbacks, and phobias in children born after 1945. The secret handshake of this society is a childhood obsession with the Holocaust by those unrelated to survivors, who never heard it discussed until after their dreams or phobias were already haunting their young lives. This groundbreaking, meticulously researched book provides evidence that is as startling as it is mysteriously affirming. *** “As a son of Holocaust survivors, I learned that long after the years of my parents’ suffering, the nightmares lingered on. In this monumental work, Sara Rigler documents…the nightmares of so many born after the Holocaust.… This is an incredibly eye-opening and inspiring journey into one of the greatest mysteries of our times.” —Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, Rabbi of Aish Kodesh Congregation, Woodmere, NY “This book is an astounding work… The many personal accounts of those who have recollections of past lives linked to Holocaust victims are not only fascinating and inspiring, but can also strengthen one’s belief in the soul and afterlife.” —Rabbi Zev Leff, Rabbi of Moshav Mattityahu, Israel “Sara Rigler has written a powerful and gripping narrative…. The stories make for fascinating reading.” —Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, Rabbi of Kehillat Ohr Somayach “This book is not only credible, it is important.” —Rebbetzin Tziporah (Heller) Gottlieb, author and lecturer
