Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Determined to provide sound advice and encouragement for any marriage on the rocks, as well as for singles and couples who have not yet experienced the challenges of living together, Rebbetzin Jungreis (The Committed Life) depicts the problems people face and offers guidance for getting through them. Those accustomed to the "disposable" life-who get rid of any hindrance to what is perceived as happiness-will find that this Torah-based relationship manual is hardly for them. The Rebbetzin (Hebrew term for a rabbi's wife) shares her own matrimonial stories, which exude confidence that one can lead a life of peace and fulfillment, as long as understanding, giving, compromise and hard work are fully integrated into one's marriage. "Marriage is not a business partnership-it's not even give-and-take, but it's give and give more. Giving is a prerequisite to genuine love, although people mistakenly believe that just the opposite is true." Jungreis speaks with the authority of a psychologist and marriage counselor, the wisdom of a biblical scholar and the compassion of a wife and mother. She offers much of the advice already proffered by other relationship experts, but her inclusion of God and religion makes these stories and recommendations unique. She claims firsthand involvement in all of her vignettes, and since they all end successfully-a divorce called off, a lifetime dispute settled-it seems prudent to call on the Rebbetzin should trouble arise.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Bomb...Rabitzin blows it up!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Rabitzin Jungreis is a modern day Deborah. She has so much wisdom and insight, but most of all, heart. Truly, that's what it takes to help, a large heart full of compassion, gratitude and the need to help. Her stories are a soothing balm of Gilead to my soul, giving so much inspiration to face the challenges of this world.
    Every story is unique and gives us glimpses of the trauma of challenges in modern day marriges. Rabbizin is like a G-dly spiritual surgeon that goes in gently and removes the tumors and abcesses that form in a persons soul, then she gently patches them up and checks in until the person is ready to leave the hospital, cured! What a beracha she is, not only to these people in these stories, but to all who are fortunate enough to open her books and are allowed to drink from the fountain of her love and wisdom.
    She is known as the Jewish Billy Graham, she is much more than that she is a healer, a tzadikka of our generation. I can't get enough of her wisdom, and am praying for a chance to meet her, so that I can tell her how much her words have helped me.
    This is a must have book for couples, or singles, it doesn't matter. the price is insignificant when a true treasure is found.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2021

    My mom has a big book collection. When I started talking to this guy I liked during college, I would pull certain marriage books and just read.

    This one made an invaluable impression on me that’s lasted through our time of courtship and now 4+ years of marriage.
    We’re still in our 20s and very happy!

    The rebetzin is going to become your best friend in a matter of pages and the people in her testimonial antidotes will be like your close friends. This book is like sitting down at a dinner table with a variety of couples from many backgrounds just listening to their stories, and gleaning everything you can from their experiences.

    You don’t have to read the chapters in chronological order to get the most out of this book. I skip around. I finally got my own copy and I reference it often. I also gave a copy to a friend as a wedding gift.

    If you want to invest in your marriage (or future marriage), I highly recommend reading this book and putting the wisdom to practice!

    Excellent book. I'm not Jewish, but the insight of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis is enough for any couple to give this book a chance before giving up on their relationship. She speaks with an eloquence that I think is rarely seen, and by using a thought process and system of values that are derived from the Bible/Torah! I couldn't put this book down! If you are looking for a useful and interesting guide that will enhance any relationship, this is it.

    This was a great book. It was extremely engaging and insightful. I purchased this for a friend in a struggling relationship and ended up giving a copy of this to a friend struggling to find a relationship; In today's world we spend more time reading about how to become a better golf player or a better cook than we do focusing on how to make our most important relationship the best it can be. This book puts our most important relationship in a special context and offers age old wisdom on why it should rank so high.
