Development
When asked why he chose to write this book, Telushkin said "I can think of no other rabbi who is as familiar to Jews in Israel, the U.S., the former Soviet Union, and France - the four most populous Jewish communities in the world today. So it certainly seemed that this was a man whose life deserved to be studied in depth."[1]
