Illuminating The City That Never Sleeps: Finding the Extraordinary in Everyday Interactions

Illuminating the City That Never Sleeps
Real Stories. Raw Honesty. One Rabbi's Journey Through New York City. 

Step into the heart and soul of New York City with Illuminating the City That Never Sleeps, a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human memoir by Rabbi Uriel Vigler — the only Rhodesian-born Chabad rabbi in the world.

From spontaneous mitzvahs on Manhattan street corners to quiet lessons over chicken soup, Rabbi Vigler's real-life stories blend spiritual insight with the pulse of urban life. Whether comforting a grieving husband, chasing down a lost iPad, or hosting a Shabbat meal interrupted by a flying ball, each chapter is infused with raw honesty, love, and timeless Chassidic wisdom.

This is more than just a peek into the life of a modern-day rabbi — it's a journey through the Upper East Side, through the full range of human emotion, and through a spiritual lens on compassion, parenting, resilience, and joy.

Covering everything from social trends and election-day drama to personal loss and reflections on the pandemic, this book speaks to anyone searching for deeper meaning in the chaos of everyday life. 

Perfect For:
- Readers of Jewish thought, memoirs, or spiritual inspiration
- Fans of true stories with humor, heart, and soul
- Anyone curious about the intersection of Torah and modern city life
