A Tzaddik in Our Time

The acclaimed Great Jewish series has brought us into the hearts and minds of our Torah leaders through their letters, speeches, books, personal artifacts, and timeless wisdom. Now, in this monumental volume, it turns its attention to the sweeping story of the Jewish people — offering a breathtaking panorama of Jewish history through the prism of Torah.

With majestic, full-color imagery and the eloquent words of our sages, this book traces the extraordinary saga of Klal Yisrael — from Creation to contemporary times. Each seminal event is brought vividly to life through a clear summary, a powerful quote, profound commentary, stories, lessons from Gedolei Yisrael, and striking images — many of which appear in print here for the first time.

Meticulously researched and drawn from hundreds of authoritative sources, this work transforms Jewish history into a rich journey of emunah, insight, and inspiration. Seen through the lens of Torah, history is not a series of random events, but an unfolding chronicle of Divine Providence — each moment a vital piece in the eternal puzzle of our national mission.

Authored by Rabbi Moshe Bamberger, a noted educator and student of history, this remarkable volume invites readers to journey across the centuries guided by the towering vision of Torah giants — and to behold the glorious ways of the Creator and Conductor of all, shaping our story, every step of the way.
