A new book is collecting over 70 questions and answers to real-life issues in the areas of chinuch and parenting, shidduchim, shalom bayis, in-laws, divorce and remarriage, culled from over 7 years of weekly columns in the Ami Magazine.
It is sourced in the practical advice column “Ask Rabbi Shais Taub” written by the noted author and lecturer which has gained a wide and dedicated following who return weekly seeking his perceptive guidance, clarity, inspiration, and deep faith.
“People have been asking me for years when there will finally be a book of these columns,” says Rabbi Taub, who’s trademark style of answering the questioner and not just the question has been praised for its sharp ability to dissect and analyze the readers’ questions as well as its compassion and empathy.
Much more than just an advice column, “Ask Rabbi Shais Taub” has become a trusted source for penetrating insights on life, based firmly upon authentic Torah values, and this book is an important contribution to essential guidance for people of all ages and in all stages in today’s turbulent times.
“I know very few individuals who have done as much for so many of our fellow Jews, particularly in helping them cope with the challenges life has thrown their way, as my esteemed and cherished colleague, Rabbi Shais Taub,” said Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter, Publisher of Ami Magazine.
“The very first time I spoke with Rabbi Taub I recognized his uncanny ability to dissect a person’s emotions and get to the crux of the matter, whereupon I immediately invited him to write an advice column for Ami Magazine. Since then, countless people have gotten to known Rabbi Taub and benefited from his matchless gifts.
“Like all true chasidim, Rabbi Shais Taub would rather be teaching Torah and disseminating chasidus. His efforts on behalf of others therefore come at great personal sacrifice, meaning that they are all the more holy,” he said.
“Of course, anyone who studies Rabbi Taub’s columns closely will realize that he is actually teaching Torah and disseminating chasidus as he advises people how to deal with their challenges. Like apples of gold in settings of silver, there are nuggets of Torah hidden inside his pearls of wisdom,” he added.
