Rabbi Elkins reveals the religious side of a leader who was both revered and controversial, offering readers a portrait of a man driven by conviction, faith, and a relentless commitment to his nation. Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this biography sheds light on Begin’s enduring impact on Israel and the broader Middle East.
From Paul Gross, Senior Fellow, Menachem Begin Heritage Center:
“Today, more than ever, Jewish teens need inspirational Jewish role models. By writing this concise and highly readable account of the life of Menachem Begin, Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins is introducing young people to a man who exemplified the love of the Jewish people and the Jewish state, and the uncompromising will to fight for Jewish freedom and security. In today’s climate of growing antisemitism and demonization of Israel, especially on college campuses, there are few more inspiring examples of unapologetic Jewish pride.”
