Ruthie Wonders, Vol. 6: The Secrets of Yichusin (Genealogy) & Zekhut Avot (The Merit of Our Forefathers)

Who came before us? Whose steps paved the historic path we walk today?

When young Ruthie flips through her father's family photo albums, she sees far more than just a collection of quiet faces from generations past. She discovers a vivid, unbroken chain of faith, deep scholarship, and unparalleled courage stretching across Eastern Europe, surviving through the darkest chapters of history, and blossoming into modern-day Eretz Yisrael.

In this deeply moving sixth volume of the acclaimed Ruthie Wonders series, readers are invited to travel back in time alongside Ruthie as she explores her ancestral roots. Guided by her Abba, Ruthie explores profound questions of memory, spiritual inheritance, and the ultimate miracle of Jewish continuity.
