Rabbi Shlomo Wexler spent the first 60 years of his life in the United States, until retiring in Israel in 1988. He received his Rabbinical Ordination from Yeshiva University and his M.A. in Sociology from Columbia University in New York. He went on to become the spiritual leader in congregations in New York and California.

Upon his arrival in Israel in 1988, Rabbi Wexler became the registrar of Neve Yerushalayim College. His intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of rabbinic and yeshiva life led him to write this story of love set within the backdrop of the competitive world of Jewish fundraising.

Rabbi Wexler is the author of the biblical novel The Daughters Victorious.
