Jonathan Rosenblum is a people person. These one hundred portraits describe those who had a great impact on his life — most unheralded outside their family and community, some world famous; most of whom he knew personally, some only through researching their lives.
I am frequently asked: “How do I know what my mission in life is?” The answer is: Hashem sends each person opportunities to their doorstep. Usually we don’t respond because the task does not seem glamorous enough, or it is too hard, or for any number of other reasons.
Yonoson Rosenblum has an incredible eye for searching out exceptional people disguised as ordinary ones. These people do not seek fame or glory; they simply respond to the tasks that Hashem sets before them.
It takes Yonoson’s sharp eye to spot these people, and his beautiful pen to convey their extraordinary accomplishments, while maintaining the guise of their ordinariness.
May he inspire readers to seize the opportunities presented to each of us to be great in his or her own fashion.

If the wise man is one who learns something from each individual he encounters, Jonathan Rosenblum is wise indeed. In these incisive portraits, he masterfully captures the most exceptional and admirable qualities of a wide range of men and women, both renowned and “ordinary.” In doing so, he challenges each of us to cultivate these exemplary qualities within ourselves.
