<<The first work by the Chofetz Chaim published in America.>> Rabbi Yoseph Meir Jacobson (1880-1958) of Roxbury, Mass., was a disciple of the Chofetz Chaim in Radin. He records in the introduction that he directly heard from the Chofetz Chaim that the Redemption is imminent. Jacobson thus decided to publish the present work in order to encourage Jews with the appropriate appreciation of such matters. The final pages contain a poem by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook entitled “Shir Ha’Emunah” to be sung to the tune of “Hatikva”.
