The best-selling Emunah
with Love and Chicken Soup is now available in French, the language of
thousands of jews around the world!
The Machlis family
hospitality is legendary. Every Shabbos they fit 150 or more people in
their small Jerusalem living room, preparing for their guests over 40
chickens, three different kugels, countless salads, four desserts, and,
of course, gefilte fish, chicken soup, and cholent-- both traditional
and vegetarian.
Brooklyn-born Henny Machlis
was at the heart of this amazing weekly adventure. But, as author Sara
Yoheved Rigler, bestselling author of Holy Woman and a friend of
Henny's, discovered as she interviewed Henny's fourteen children,
relatives, students, and friends, the Shabbos hospitality was just one
glowing facet of the multi-faceted diamond that was Rebbetzin Henny
Machlis.
A master of prayer, a
virtuoso in chesed, an adept in childrearing, a wise Torah teacher, an
expert at working on middos, and a successful shadchanit, Henny Machlis
regarded a life of Torah and mitzvos as a great treasure that she was
eager to share with everyone.
And her emunah, her faith
in G-d's love and providence? That was where her light shone the most
brightly. She lived on the Planet of Emunah, a place where miracles were
everyday occurrences, because she knew, really knew, that only Hashem
is in charge and He can do anything. And, for Henny, He often did.
Like a steaming bowl of
chicken soup, this book will satisfy you. Comfort you. And heal you --
in a way that only Rebbetzin Henny Machlis could. Sip it. Savor it. And
be inspired and transformed.
