Description
Reb Leizer … the man of dreams …
He was at once intellectual and blazingly fervent, charismatic and unassuming, demanding and tolerant, serious and funny. He was unconventional and, while always appropriate … unpredictable. Heir to his grandfather’s Kelm mussar and a product of a Brisker education, he also internalized the light and depth of chassidus, fusing many holy paths within his vast heart.
Reb Leizer built a world-class yeshivah while still a young man, opening up a new world to chassidishe bachurim that offered them the penetrating lomdus of the yeshivah world while fiercely safeguarding their mesorah. He challenged them to grow and made their spirits soar, but most important of all … he gave them dreams.
Rabbi Yisroel Besser, bestselling author of Reb Shlomo — The Life and Legacy of Rabbi Shlomo Freifeld, has once again given the world a precious glimpse into the life a truly unique man. Reb Leizer had an impact on anyone fortunate enough to come into contact with him — silent ones found their voice, listless ones learned to dance. Reb Leizer passed away tragically at a young age, but in the pages of this book he lives again! This is a manual for all who seek to address life vibrantly, relevantly, and courageously. It will bring sparks of Reb Leizer into your world, where they will create a roaring fire, one that will illuminate your life and change the way you see yourself, and those around you.

Rabbi Freifeld, of blessed memory, was a very special human being who saw the beauty inside each soul. Many bachurim who were struggling in Yeshiva or were thrown out of other yeshivot, met success at Sha’ar Yashuv. Why? Because Rabbi Freifeld prepared a starting point and pathway for them, as well as made sure that each bochur felt reflected, valued, and suddenly aware of his potential. There are many beautiful vignettes in this book. I don’t gravitate towards frummie hagiographical works. This one does not fall in that category because Rabbi Freifeld was the real deal. If you want to build a great library of biographies of the rabbanim, this should go alongside A Tzaddik in Our Time, An Angel Among Men, From Jerusalem, His Word and My Uncle The Netziv. Please feel free to share others you recommend.

Gershom –
This is the story of a great religious rebbe who devoted his life to help others. The book consists of snapshots of moments, small events that contribute in the end to build a moving picture [like in a beautiful pointillist oil painting].Very interesting, original and deeply moving.
