(Collive.com) David Nesenoff’s new book, I Never Met The Rebbe Many Times, is gaining praise and attention as he begins his speaking tour around the world. Nesenoff’s rise to fame after exposing anti-Semitic journalist Helen Thomas from the White House led to him speaking at over 700 Chabad houses around the world. He has told thousands of listeners about his personal Chabad experiences and the stories he has heard firsthand from shluchim. Now he has written them down for all to read and enjoy.

Rabbi Efraim Mintz, executive director of the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, said, “I welcome David Nesenoff’s wonderfully disarming insight into the lives of individual Chabad emissaries. His journey oscillates between hilarity and emotion and is as captivating as it is uplifting.”

Before participating in Kinus HaShluchim, Nesenoff spoke at the Village Chabad in Stony Brook, Long Island. “You could have heard a pin drop; the Shabbaton audience was captivated and moved,” noted Rabbi Chaim Grossbaum. “David expertly explained the Rebbe’s understanding and response to anti-Semitism. He managed to move our community of all ages to tears and laughter during these very difficult times. He is a skilled and engaging speaker who brilliantly motivates his listeners to embrace more Yiddishkeit.”

Larry Kagan, an audience member at the dinner in Stony Brook, said, “David gave an incredibly great presentation. He was hysterical and captivating. He was born for this job.”

The book with the oddest title, I Never Met the Rebbe Many Times, takes the reader on Nesenoff’s travels around the world. The chapters are filled with incredible stories about Rebbes and Shluchim from all over the world, including Chabad houses and campuses in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, South Africa, India, Morocco, and Israel.
