Learn Live Teach

The story of a life

A shy, awkward teen with a brilliant mind for learning, her greatest wish is to be a teacher. Never in her wildest dreams does she imagine that her path will lead to a brand-new seminary in Gateshead, then to postwar Navardok in the French countryside, and finally to the Brooklyn community of her beloved rav, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l.

In this extraordinary, not-to-be-missed tale, Esther Leah Avner, lecturer, writer, and consummate storyteller, tells a story that is sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and always riveting.
