The Lamdonis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798348536060)

Devorah Leah was a little girl with a big secret. She lived at a time when there were no Jewish schools for girls, and many people thought that girls shouldn't learn Torah at all. But Devorah Leah taught herself to read, and began studying chumash all by herself. Soon she would discover that her own mother had a secret too...

Join Devorah Leah on a journey of discovery through time: You will meet Rebbetzin Perel of Prague. You will witness the dramatic court-case between Reb Yoel Baal Shem and the nit-gutte (no-goodnik) spirits of the haunted house. You will learn about holy men and women who studied Kabbalah and used it to help ordinary people fulfil their missions in life.

You will also meet Devorah Leah's younger brother, Boruch, who later grew up to become the father of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Chassidus.

The Lamdonis: The story of Rebbetzin Devorah Leah of Vitebsk and the origins of Chabad Chassidus. Adapted from Lubavitcher Rebbin's Zichroines, by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (1880-1950).
