A Vow Fulfilled: The Fran Laufer Story Memories and Miracles - Paperback

A Vow Fulfilled: The Fran Laufer Story - Memories and Miracles tells of the wonder at the bravery, the tenacity, and G-d's ever-present guiding hand that have defined Fran Laufer through the darkest periods of history - and of her life. Fran's triumphal spirit - her sole inheritance from her parents and grandparents - traveled with her across the Atlantic and helped her forge a new life as a young wife and mother in a strange land. It is the spirit that saw Fran travel to the Far East in search of Objet d'art for the renowned Fran Laufer Collection. It is the unyielding spirit of a woman who built a dynasty with her husband, and enabled her to spearhead numerous causes, support Jewish institutions, and build yeshivahs and synagogues that would be her legacy: Bikur Cholim in New York, Young Israel of Hillcrest and Deerfield Beach, the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem, Bobov, Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem, and many more. A Vow Fulfilled is a story of hope amidst horror, of love flowering in a wasteland. It's a testimony to a life brimming with love - of family, community, and the Jewish people. It's the legacy of a young woman's dreams - and a vow fulfilled.
