There are books you read. And then there are books that read you.
Moments of Greatness by Rabbi Yitzchok Hisiger is nothing short of a revelation. In a Jewish world blessed with countless story collections, this one stands in a league of its own — a towering masterpiece that doesn’t just inspire, it awakens.
From the very first page, you’re ushered into a world where the impossible becomes reality, where a handwritten letter to Avinu shebashamayim triggers a shidduch no human could’ve orchestrated… where a quiet housewife dares to confront the most powerful man on earth… and where a single pasuk whispered during Elul transforms the course of a young man’s life long after the Yomim Nora’im have passed.
These aren’t just stories. They are seismic moments — flashes of spiritual brilliance that pierce through the routine and reveal the infinite greatness pulsing just beneath the surface of everyday life.
Rabbi Hisiger, already beloved for his clarity, warmth, and insight, has outdone himself here. With his signature narrative precision and impeccable taste for the extraordinary, he has curated a collection so moving, so electrifying, that you’ll find yourself pausing after each story — not to catch your breath, but to let your soul catch up.
This isn’t feel-good fluff. It’s soul food. The kind that nourishes the deepest parts of you.
What makes Moments of Greatness different?

• The stories stay with you. Long after the book is closed, the people in its pages linger. The emunah. The courage. The quiet acts of greatness no one noticed… except Hashem.
• The message is clear: Greatness isn’t reserved for gedolim and giants. It’s found in the quiet heroism of regular people — people like you and me — who rise to the moment and choose to make it eternal.
• The writing is addictive. Crisp, flowing, and deeply sincere. There’s no fluff, no filler — just raw, real, riveting inspiration.

With breathtaking hashkafah and stories that will make you laugh, cry, and sometimes both at once, this book belongs in every Jewish home, on every Shabbos table, and in the hands of anyone who believes in the power of a single moment to change everything.
Moments of Greatness isn’t just the best story collection in years. It may be the best book in years.
Read it. Gift it. Live it.
Because when greatness flashes before your eyes — even for a moment — you’re never quite the same again.
