In honor of the Hebrew Book Week, we’d like to recommend the fascinating book, “A Life of Mission,” written by Dr. Yehiel Harari, and published by Yediot Aharonot. How did a young man with no educational or management background establish an enormous educational campus, with its thousands of pupils? How did he develop revolutionary educational methods that he successfully implemented at his institutions, which grew in number? How did this Haredi man, who grew up in Meah She’arim, reach the hearts of the discotheque teenagers living in the northern development town? Why do prisoners find him inspirational during their rehabilitation process? Why do senior politicians, banks and large organizations enlist to help his educational and welfare enterprises?
A Life of Mission follows the biography of the Rabbi and his contribution to Israeli society. It also inspires us, its readers, to adopt an awareness of a life of mission, in which a person dedicates his life to his mission in the world, discovering his amazing strengths, and finding that the world will work with him; and suddenly, doors are opened up to him, and his journey becomes clear.
What is it about a life of mission that develops personal healing powers for the private individual and for the entire society? Answers to these questions and many others are found in this wonderful book about Rabbi Grossman, available at book stores at affordable prices, in honor of the book week.
