Drawing on first-hand interviews with talmidim, family, and Rav Berland himself, the book traces his early years from Haifa, his founding of the Shuvu Banim yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem, his pilgrimages to Uman, and the spiritual stature that drew tens of thousands of seekers back to Yiddishkeit.
