And Hashem Remembered Them

Rav Tzadok Hakohen Rabinowitz of Lublin, affectionately known as “Reb Tzadok,” was one of the great Chassidic thinkers of the nineteenth century.

A profound adaptation of Sefer Pokeid Akarim of Reb Tzadok, And Hashem Remembered Them delves into the depths of his teachings, taking us on a journey through the inner dimensions of the avodah of the six childless women in Tanach, from Sarah Imeinu to Chanah.

With richness and depth, Pokeid Akarim provides spiritual support and guidance for childless couples, offering wisdom and inspiration. Ultimately, however, the message is for Klal Yisrael, as this sefer reveals barrenness as a metaphor for our bitter galus and its conclusion—the ultimate rejoicing of the rebirth of our nation and the coming of Mashiach.

“In my capacity as cofounder of Ohel Sarala in conjunction with Bonei Olam, I have been privy to the colossal struggles that come along with infertility…learning this sefer will go a long way in understanding the mysterious ways of Hashem in this overwhelmingly difficult challenge.”

Rabbi Chaim Aryeh Zev Ginzberg, Rav, Chofetz Chaim Torah Center, Cedarhurst, NY

“Precious insight into a highly original work that illuminates not only its immediate subject but also the world of Reb Tzadok’s Torah.”
