You can't beat Shimshon's honesty! He always told it like it is and these articles illustrate that trait. And yet, along with his extreme bluntness comes extreme compassion. The combination is unbeatable. Thank you, Shimshon, for writing these magical, priceless articles for the N'shei Chabad Newsletter in the 1980s. I'm excited to give this book to my family and friends. Thank you, Yoel Atkins, for making it happen!
