In his monumental work Aish Kodesh, the Piaseczner Rebbe teaches that suffering, pain, and feelings of despair can actually be conduits for tremendous growth.<\/p>\n<p>World-renowned educator Rabbi Meir Kahane weaves the Rebbe\u2019s insights into a series of fictional conversations between the Rebbe and Mendel, an orphaned teen in the Warsaw Ghetto. Mendel seeks guidance from the Rebbe, who is a beacon of kedushah and strength during times of unimaginable suffering. This moving story provides a backdrop to the outpouring of the Rebbe\u2019s profound wisdom, which applies to our times as well.<\/p>\n<p>Mendel\u2019s questions echo some of the heaviest concerns weighing on our hearts:<br \/>\u2022 Why do good people suffer?<br \/>\u2022 How can I grow when I\u2019m hurting?<br \/>\u2022 Why would a good God give me such a hard life?<br \/>\u2022 Is Hashem pushing me away?<\/p>\n<p>A Candle in the Darkness, a companion to the best-selling A Fire in the Darkness, addresses these questions with clarity and depth. Thoughtfully written to be accessible and meaningful to a wide range of readers, it offers profound and practical guidance while conveying the Rebbe\u2019s warmth, compassion, and care. In these pages, you\u2019ll learn how to transform even the deepest darkness into light.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can a fiery flame transform darkness into light?
