The Holy Fire: The Teaching of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto

Rating:
Summary: The Best Detailed Study of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira.
Review: This is the 1st detailed study of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto. The book illuminates the real issues of faith and doubt in the Holocaust. Unlike most books, which were written AFTER the Shoah and by people who were NOT there, the Eish Kodesh was written and influenced by the Ghetto. Beautiful retelling of how Rabbi Shapira's ideas changed dramatically by the Shoah. THE HOLY FIRE is a great book for how to understand how bad things happen to good people.
