<p>Star (noun): a natural luminous body visible in the sky especially at night; a person who is preeminent in a particular field (from Merriam-Webster Dictionary) This is a book about "stars." It's about people who light up the night with their choices. It's about men and women who are "preeminent" in the daily challenges and struggles that we face. It's about courage and determination and fixing what's broken. And, of course, it's about great stories beautifully told. Stories like Simi's, the freshly-minted CPA confronting illegal activity and an offer of a bribe. When her dream job becomes a nightmare she must choose between security... and her conscience. Stories like Mottel's, the philanthropist who takes a million dollar loan to keep his tzedakah obligations, and who finds that Hashem Himself repays the money he owes. And stories like Arianna's, who discovers her stolen heritage in an unbelievable stroke of hashgacha pratis. Author C.B. Weinfeld has a knack for uncovering engrossing true accounts everywhere - in a tire factory, a pawn shop, a beis medrash. And as she shows us the greatness of other Jews we find, amazingly enough, that we can discover it in ourselves as well. When the sky is darkest, we see the stars' glow much more clearly. When times are tough - that's when our choices light up our world. That's when we can reach the stars.</p>

A Handful of Stars

ArtScroll, Mesorah Publications

A camp prank that haunted a man for two decades... A woman trying to run her own business -- and that of her competitor... A beloved brother who suddenly becomes a woman's worst enemy... Great stories, beautifully told. C.B.Weinfeld's first collection of true stories, A Handful of Stars, lit up our lives. Now she gives us even more: more unusual true stories, more fascinating characters, more great reading, more inspiration. These articles first published in Yated Ne'eman and Ami Magazine have a cast of characters as vast and varied as life itself: A wealthy Long Island entrepreneur looking to put just a little "Jewish" in his life. A married couple trying to rediscover their shalom bayis in an upscale cafe. A shadchan who for some mysterious reason takes on one girl's search for her bashert as his full time job. Some of the stories have fantastic surprise endings, others shine a light on human behavior or offer instances of the most amazing hashgachah pratis. The stories are so varied, but they share a common thread: each of them elevates, delights, and inspires us. These are stories that touch our hearts and uplift our souls; luminous stories that will light up our own lives, as lovely as the bright stars in the dark sky.
