22 Promises

Yisrael Meir, a young Litvishe Avreich, wakes up one morning with an urge to become a Milchover Chassid. Having lived a Litvishe way of life for 20 years, his wife Goldie is shocked at this dramatic change. A personal meeting with the Rebbe…Spiritual experiences...Tisches...? The young family is sucked into an emotional whirlpool as parents, friends, and neighbors intervene... And then Naama - the whitewasher's daughter, educator and writer - comes to the rescue with her personal moving story. A story packed with emotional inflexibility, spiritual yearning and the blessings of profound and sensitive understanding. For 18 months, Mishpacha readers have been following this story with nervous excitement and the deepest empathy. They do not need a recommendation to read this book! They've been waiting for it with bated breath. Goldie, Yisrael Meir, their parents, little Avrumele, Tirza (the elated bride) and her scholarly groom (bothered by her great-great grandfather from Kotzk)... these larger than life characters have kept readers spellbound and shocked, brought tears to their eyes and smiles to their faces... So much so that Mishpacha readers wait for the next episode as if... As if what? Now you too can read it, and see for yourself!
