  1. an amazing book giving the new generation of a gadol hador.A must read whether your chassidish litvish sfard ashkenaz etc……..

  2. The Sefer Eidis B’Yosef was previously translated into English. It plains several hanhagos, minhagim, and halachos of the Rebbe. R’ Meisels has done an unprecedented job at presenting the teachings and world of Satamr to those of us who speak English and don’t come from that community.

  3. I am a Chosid of Chabad and read this new biography on the Satmar Rov Rabbenu Yoel zy”a with great interest..
    It was not only fascinating to read about the life and times of such a Tzaddik but it engergized ones Emunas HaShem.
    The Rebbeim of Chabad held some diametrically opposed views to the Shita which Rebbe Yoel zy”a based his life’s work.
    However we all the same commitment to the mission of sustaining and spreading G-d’s Torah and his Mitzvos, undertaken with Kedusha and Hiddur.
    May the legacy of this enormous Tzaddik live on with vitality until Bias Moshiac Tzidkanu Amen.

  4. Yankel – No, I don’t think they are the same, what foods he ate for shalos shudos is IMHO a more important point. My point being every little point won’t necessarily be in writing.
