After a slow business period, Rabbi Yaroslaver's bookstore receives a visit from a rabbi who shares his life story of surviving the Holocaust and his struggles as a rabbi in America.

A book given to an Austrian-Jewish boy for his bar mitzvah in 1936 has been reunited with his surviving family members.

The author reflects on the concept of opportunity cost introduced during an economics class in college and how it applies to various life choices, such as academic achievements, social activities, and professional goals, using the framework of Jewish teachings like Mesillat Yesharim by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto.
