Over 13 years working as a Rabbi in NYC, Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff has been asked thousands of questions on every Jewish topic. He decided to write a book with short, readable and inspirational answers to those questions. One of his students works at the crowd-funding site Indiegogo, and suggested he launch a book campaign. The response so far has been incredible. To join Rabbi Hajioff on his campaign, click here to view a description on the book.
