A Prophetic Vision: Penetrating insights from Rav Elchonon Wasserman's Kovetz Maamarim

When circumstances don’t make sense, faith is what keeps us anchored. We may not know
Hashem’s plan, but we know that He has one for us. He’ll never let us down.

Rav Elchonon Wasserman was a gadol b’Yisrael whose wisdom transcended his own
times. Possessing both brilliance and daas Torah, he was able to perceive the meaning of
unprecedented world events and enlighten those around him. His famed Kovetz Maamarim
opened a vista into the future, urging others to see what was happening around them.
Although the world has changed drastically since Rav Elchonon first penned his essays,
his ideas remain as relevant and as critical as ever. In this ground-breaking translation of Rav Elchonon’s monumental work, his views on a variety of subjects — ranging from emunah and bitachon to chinuch and politics — are presented in an accessible, almost conversational English. Accompanied by addendums by Rav Avrohom Gurwicz, shlita, these essays will open readers’ eyes to an astounding worldview that reads as if it was written today.

“Menachem Spiegel has a remarkable ability to convey thoughts and ideas that have made Reb Elchonon’s words accessible to the public.” —Rav Avrohom Gurwicz, shlita, Rosh Yeshivah, Gateshead Yeshivah
