The Power of Perseverance:The Story of Rabbi Yehuda Simes Nobody asked me. Nobody! I had not been in a massive auditoriumlistening to an authoritative voice challenging the crowd: "We are lookingfor volunteers. Who here would like to be the wife of a quadriplegic?"I did not hop up and down, making the emphatic ooo-ooo-ooo soundthat my students emit when they are eager to sign up for a job or aprivilege. I did not call out, "Pick me! Pick me! Please! Pick me!" I did not. Or so I thought.When a catastrophic accident completely altered Rabbi Yehuda Simes'sphysical existence, he was forced to rediscover his true essence, tointernalize the idea that his body was merely a cloak for his soul, whichremained forever whole despite being housed in so broken a body.His wife Shaindel, for her part, was forced overnight to become her husband'scaretaker, cheerleader, patient advocate, and support system. Togetherthe heroic couple forged ahead, as Rabbi Simes showed the worldwhat it means to LIVE al kiddush Hashem, even in the most difficultcircumstances.Rabbi Simes was the force who challenged every "I can't" in existence.In spite of his countless limitations after the accident, he went right onwith serving Hashem, albeit a bit differently than beforehand. Whereas hehad always been a teacher, now the world became his classroom,as he utilized his situation to amplify his messages and vastlyextend his sphere of influence. Painstakingly typing letter byletter-first with voice activation, and then, when he lost hisspeaking capabilities, with an eye-movement detector-RabbiSimes began to share with his many students and admirers hisvictories, setbacks, and determination to constantly find purposein every moment of his life, even as a quadriplegic. Rolling Rabbi is the gripping and inspiring account of Rabbi YehudaSimes's remarkable journey, as seen from the perspective of ShaindelSimes, while peppered with many of Rabbi Simes's own writings. Filledwith laughs and tears, as well as the many unusual-and oftentimes hair-raising!-occurrences that made up Rabbi Simes's day-to-day life, this is abook that will forever change your view of the true capabilities that existin each one of us. 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: IBS-LA287 Author: Shaindel Simes Isbn 13: 9781600919664 Isbn 10: 1600919669 Pages: 380 Size: 6.3" x 9.3" Binding: Hardcover Date: 3/29/2022 Imprint: Israel Bookshop Publications Show more
