Yedidi [Hardcover]

Rabbi Shmuel Berkovicz taught so much -- and meant so much -- to so many.

"... he didn’t just dance, he jumped with joy. And not only when he danced. He had a certain jump when he davened ... when he taught ..."

A dedicated rebbi and menahel. A beloved rav of his Passaic kehillah. A compassionate father to yesomim. An expert in shalom bayis issues. And a friend, a yedid? That, Reb Shmuel was ... to every single Yid.

"He called so many 'yedidi ahuvi, my beloved friend,' because they all were his beloved friend. As one of his many admirers imparted, 'I knew he probably had numerous yedidim ahuvim, beloved friends, but that didn’t detract from the love he had for me.’"

Yes, everyone’s YEDID!

"... he made us into mentchen ..."
