Minda –
Reading the book is second best to actually spending time with the rabbi and his family. It reads as though you are comfortably sitting in their family living room, discussing and observing first-hand what life should be like from a Torah perspective. Rabbi Bogopulsky’s nurturing personality shines through on each and every page.
