EISENMAN

Rabbi Eisenman is not just a social commentator, he is a rebbe who can teach us how to pay attention to the most important moments of our lives.

From the Foreword by Rabbi Yaacov Haber

Rabbi Eisenman’s words offer breathtaking views of our Torah’s relevance to seemingly ordinary encounters and situations.

Dr. Norman N. Blumenthal Noted therapist, Chai Lifeline

 Rabbi Eisenman’s words are rich in wisdom, insights, and inspiration. After you have read them, go back and read them again.

Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, MD,Author of Self-Improvement? I’m Jewish!

Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman’s daily emails are eagerly awaited by many thousands of readers around the world, and he is a popular columnist for Mishpacha magazine. The volume you are holding in your hands highlights some of the most important issues in our lives today — topics that are rarely discussed, often to our detriment.

The chapters within are funny, moving, thought-provoking, and challenging. They enable us to connect the dots, to see with new eyes what is really going on in our relationships and our communities. The practical wisdom in these pages is life-changing, enabling us to begin to see The Elephant in the Room.

Mosaica Press is an independent publisher of Jewish books, and e-books for the broad spectrum of Jews and non-Jews. Our authors include some of the most profound, interesting, and entertaining thinkers and writers in the Jewish world today. Mosaica Press is responding to the great demand for high-quality Jewish works dealing with issues of the day. Our aim is to uplift, explain, and inspire — without negativity. Our authors, investors, partners, clients, and customers know that we do our best to operate with honesty, integrity, and good service.

From the Introduction:

Some of these stories will make you cry.Some will make you laugh.Some will make you sad.Some will make you mad.

And that is good.

Some of the topics are politically correct — and many are not. Some of the pieces may require parental discretion.

These musings and reflections are mine and mine alone.

However, I believe these stories are unique and important. They address core subjects that we too often ignore — as individuals and as a community.

Come join me as I attempt to locate The Elephant in the Room.

Born in Brooklyn, Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman attended Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchanan and several yeshivos and kollelim in Eretz Yisrael and America. He received Semichah Yoreh Yoreh from Rav Yosef Dov Soleveitchik, zt”l, and Yadin Yadin from the Kollel L’dayanus. He is a prominent teacher in the New York area and has been the rabbi of Congregation Ahavas Israel in Passaic, New Jersey, since 1997.

Rabbi Eisenman’s Short Vort e-mails are eagerly awaited by many thousands of read-ers around the world. He is a popular columnist for Mishpa-cha magazine, as well as a much sought-after speaker and schol-ar-in-residence.
