Synopsis: Like the sun―a blazing ball of fire that one cannot gaze upon directly, yet whose radiance and warmth illuminates our world, infusing life, joy and vigor into the soul of every living being―so was the life of Rabbeinu HaGaon HaRav Shimshon Dovid Pincus zt”l Nurtured by parents who imbibed deeply from the Torah wellsprings of European Jewry ― such as Rav Baruch Ber Leibowitz, Rav Eliezer Yehudah Finkel, and Sara Schenirer ― young Shimshon grew into a world-renowned speaker, educating and influencing audiences across the Jewish spectrum. He manifested spiritual powers that seemed to transcend the forces of nature and human capacity. His heart burned with holy sparks of fervor, and those sparks grew into a mighty torch that illuminates our world with Torah, yiras Shamayim and kedushah until this very day. Follow Rav Pincus’s path from the American spiritual desert of the early 20th century to Torah greatness. Based on the bestselling Hebrew biography Hashemesh Bigvuraso, it is a stirring collection of firsthand facts, hanhagos, and stories from distinguished rabbanim, talmidei chachamim, family members and talmidim who ensured that this sefer―like its protagonist―bears the eternal stamp of emes.
