I AM YOUR SERVANT is a newly released book by Artscroll Publications about the life of Rabbi Yosef Tendler. Rabbi Tendler was one of the first American-born talmidim of Rav Aharon Kotler zt'l, at a time when "Lakewood" had only dozens of students, and there were fewer than 1,000 senior yeshiva bachurim in the entire world. Appointed "temporary" menahel of Ner Israel's mechinah, he remained in that post for 47 years, a brilliant teacher and charismatic role model, utterly devoted to his talmidim, creating literally thousands of Bnei Torah.
I AM YOUR SERVANT is full of wonderful, warm, and poignant stories that give us a unique vision of a multi-faceted personality, while also painting a thrilling picture of the extraordinary growth and development of yeshivah and Torah life during the last three generations.
