On this edition of By the Book, sponsored by Koren Publishers, Nachum Segal interviewed Rabbi Berel Wein about his new autobiography entitled “Teach Them Diligently – The Personal Story of a Community Rabbi.”

From the Koren website:

Rabbi Berel Wein – rabbi and historian, writer and lecturer, kashrut supervisor and rosh yeshiva – looks back at the dramatic events of his life. From religious controversies and educational dilemmas, through challenges of community building and synagogue politics, to encounters with great rabbis and travels throughout the Jewish world, Rabbi Wein’s tale is one of Jewish leadership in twentieth-century America, at once highly public and deeply personal.

With great humor and disarming honesty, Teach Them Diligently tells the story of the trials and the triumphs, the struggles and the joys of a life devoted to Jewish community service.
