Raising a Community, a Family, and Ourselves [Hardcover]

To elevate one’s life, the individual focuses on growth in three areas: oneself, one’s family, and one’s community. Ideally, he does so under the leadership and direction of his rabbi, who can offer specific and personalized guidance. Raising a Community, a Family, and Ourselves shares thought-provoking anecdotes and lessons - from three decades of the author’s dynamic leadership as a pulpit rabbi - that educate and encourage the individual in living a moral and elevated existence.

"My beloved talmid Rabbi Avraham Bogopulsky has written a book of outstanding importance and relevance" This is a book to be studied, internalized, and appreciated.
-Rabbi Berel Wein

"Rarely do we read a book written by someone who is truly familiar with our mundane routines, compassionately empathetic with our daily dilemmas, and yet capable of finding practical, helpful, and inspiring solutions in authentic Jewish sources to our troubling questions. This book addresses real-life issues - and is a precious gift to all who seek practical wisdom from the Jewish tradition."
-Rabbi Dr. Tzvi H. Weinrib

"Interesting, enlightening, inspiring, and entertaining. Rabbi Bogopulsky conveys practical life lessons based on solid Torah sources. A quality presentation!"
-Rabbi Zev Leff
