The stormy teenage years are a period of potentially explosive growth to maturity — but also a period of possible spiritual disaster. Think Big presents Rabbi Halberstadt’s legendary formula for navigating that difficult journey and achieving greatness.
Rabbi Ilan Halberstadt is famous for his ability to inspire young teenage men with the fascination of Torah study and their personal spiritual growth. Over the years, many have said that his teaching and direction have changed their lives.

“This book addresses the issues facing Jewish young men in today’s world in a forthright manner — Rabbi Halberstadt pulls no punches when dealing with the temptations they face. In illuminating a path around those pitfalls and dangers, he plots a course to real maturity and greatness. This book gives a ‘larger than life’ sense of inspiration that will change any young man who understands its message, quite possibly to an amazing degree.”

Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz, author of The Thinking Teenager’s Guide to Life and other works

“The teenage years are the most powerful years in a person’s life…yet they are like a powerful engine, with no steering wheel and very weak brakes! [This book provides] thoughtful and practical guidance for this crucial period… One gains both a ‘big picture’ in terms of direction and very sound practical advice on making the most of it.”

Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky, Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Greater Washington
