Many countries. Many lives. And one overwhelming love, for Hashem, His Torah and His People. Meet Shulamit Bitton - Blau. You're going to love her. One foggy day in northern England, a young woman danced into the relatively new girl's seminary that had been founded in Gateshead, wearing an enchanting smile, a bright purple coat, and sandals. The only child of a family deeply rooted in Djerba, the legendary island of Kohanim, Shulamit Cohen was Sefardic, a miracle child whose Jewish education had taken place entirely at home. Yet within moments of her arrival she felt entirely at home in Gateshead - and Gatehead felt entirely at home with its new, unusual and exuberant student. It was that exuberance, coupled with her rock - solid emunah and her unparalleled love for Torah, which carried Shulamit through her many journeys and challenges. That wide - eyed student grew up to be the wife of an impoverished Torah scholar in Gateshead, a rabbanit in Marseilles when her hUSBand was appointed av beis din, a widow who married off eight children, and, after her remarriage, the wife of one of the outstanding figures in Yerushalayim's Eida Chareidis. Quite a journey; and Shulamit was quite a personality. Bestselling author Libby Lazewnik brings her to vivid life: her unusual optimism in the face of daunting circumstances and her devotion to her family - a family that included all of Klal Yisrael. From Djerba to Jerusalem is an engrossing story. More: it's an eye - opening, heart - opening look at the power of chesed, emunah, and love. table{border-collapse:collapse}td{background-color:#efefef;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px}th{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px} Sku: DJEH Author: Libby Lazewnik Isbn 10: 1422619664 Isbn 13: 9781422619667 Pages: 342 Size: 6.3" x 9.3" Binding: Hardcover Date: 2/1/2018 Imprint: Artscroll Mesorah Publications
