Yaakov Astor shows that Hashem's guiding hand in history, while often not obvious, and all the less so in the unfathomable tragedies of the Holocaust, is there to be found nonetheless. The tragedies and triumphs of the Jewish people are not isolated events but part of a continuum, with every detail orchestrated by Hashem for our ultimate benefit. The Holocaust deserves to be studied in this manner, no less than the rest of Jewish history, because many priceless Torah messages are hidden within the events of this cataclysmic era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this age of media overload -- which only serves to obscure the presence of Hashem in our lives -- this book offers a deep, insightful approach to thinking about the Holocaust that will leave you forever changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will help you discover hashgachah (Divine Providence) in history, even at times when Hashem hid His face from us -- even in the dense darkness that was the Holocaust. Indeed, many survivors, in retelling their stories, have expressed the conviction that Hashem was watching over them. These countless stories certainly testify to Hashem's presence on the microcosmic level of individual lives, but the goal of this book is to demonstrate Hashem's hand in the larger, global events of the Holocaust. From Hitler's rise to his demise -- including the war he waged against the Jews and the Allied military campaigns waged against him -- Hashem's hidden hand can be discerned, if only we open our eyes to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Yaakov Astor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover | 6\" x 9\" | 304 pages | ISBN 9781607634409\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ee-Book | ISBN 9781607630685\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYaakov Astor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJudaica Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" × 9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLanguage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781607634409\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Judaica Press","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":55475718914216,"sku":"HHHS","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"e-Book","offer_id":55475718946984,"sku":"HHHE","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9765\/9560\/files\/9781607630135.jpg?v=1781048500"}],"url":"https:\/\/judaicasquare.com\/collections\/judaica-press-author-yaakov-astor.oembed","provider":"Judaica Square","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
