Lovely book.
The book has many stories, but they are all woven together organically, due to a splendid editing job. The book contains well defined chapters and each chapter has sub-chapters. Each theme or story is well defined in a sub-chapter, but also links to the content of the entire chapter.
I was so impressed reading about this woman. Surely she is a true TZADEKET. Each time before she gave birth, and sometimes before she even knew she is expecting, she had a dream that foretold her how to name the baby. Incredible! She also had dreams about her sister and father, and this was how she learned that they were murdered by the Nazis YIMACH SHEMAM.
This book reminded me the book about Henny Machlis h"a and the book "All for the boss". All three books evolve around the Mitzvah of HACHNASAT ORCHIM. In this book the author writes that she had so many guests and so little help, that she used to wash the SHABBAT dishes until Tuesday!! Without a doubt this Mitzvah carries allot of merit. The characters in all 3 books experienced extraordinary SIATA DESHMAYA and climbed higher and higher in the ladder of KEDUSHA. It is just to show you how even mundane activities such as serving someone a meal or washing dishes can have an untold spiritual strength.
