R. Yoel Kahn Prominent authority on Chabad philosophy "Once I began reading the book 'Samarkand,' I was drawn into it and couldn't tear myself away. Both the style and language are captivating." R. Sholom Ber Levin Head Librarian, Library Agudas Chasidei Chabad; expert in history of Chabad Chassidism "I was delighted by the book ' Samarkand' on the chassidic underground in Soviet Russia. The author opens up a window to the world of heroic activity and Jewish selflessness during the Soviet regime. The book describes first-hand one of the darkest periods of time for Soviet Jewry in a most captivating manner. In my opinion, a movie should be made based on this book, offering a virtual glimpse into the history of heroism." Professor Alexander Laskin Historian and Writer
