About this Book
The Rabbi Lehmann Treasury
Everyone has a dream. The new Emperor dreams of a steady reign over the German Empire. The young nobleman on horseback dreams of restoring the honor of the House of Bessenheim. And Reb Daniel dreams of establishing a glorious yeshiva for budding Torah scholars. Everyone has a dream - but Yosef, Reb Daniel's brilliant young son from Vermaisa, has dreams that no one suspects. A battle is raging in his heart. He is torn between the beis medrash and the golden towers of Vienna, the capital city. The coronation ceremony in Frankfurt brings all those dreams together in one place, changing the lives of our heroes. Reb Daniel becomes an advisor to the Crown.
Von Bessenheim secures his future. And Yosef's life turns into a tumultuous obstacle course, strewn with inner conflicts and harboring terrible danger. While the Jews of Ashkenaz breathe a sigh of relief, thanking Hashem for the new royal advisor, Count Von Trachtenstein is gathering his allies for a fierce struggle. Together with his fellow Jew-haters, he realizes there is only one way of bringing the honest and upright advisor to his downfall. There is one trap he can set that will catch Reb Daniel in his net and bring the antisemites back to their position of influence. The signal is given. The trap is set.
And Yosef doesn't know that he is the bait. The intrigues of the imperial court and the innocence of the villagers, his father's cleverness and his grandfather's counsel, the splendor of the castle, his own determination and isolation, all combine to shape our hero's journey. They lead him to choose a path once and for all. They teach him the meaning of true greatness. Advisor to the Crown is a profound drama that recasts the classic novel Daniel the Wise by Rabbi (Marcus) Lehmann.
