A mob of incited Christians gathers outside the ghetto gates,
holding heavy tools, waiting impatiently for the signal to
completely destroy Halberstadt's shul and everything in it...This was a defining event in the life of R' Berman Lehman, and it burned
inside him constantly. From a young boy in the ghetto, he grew to become
the royal agent and a man of high diplomatic standing, to whom counts
and kings listened carefully. He used his high standing to help his Jewish
brothers - and he merited to accomplish great things. Naturally, this was
not favorably received, and his many enemies did all they could to bring
him down...• Who shot the terrifying bear, and why?• How was R' Lehman saved from a lowly scheme due to his care not
to wear shaatnez?• From which plot was he saved in the merit of the mitzvah of bris
milah?• And what was the most beautiful and precious decoration in the
grand shul that he built in Halberstadt?All these answers you will find in this fascinating historical tale from
master storyteller Tzvi Aryeh Adler, who once again, as in his previous
best-sellers, spins a riveting, suspense-filled adventure, filled with Torah
lessons and values.
