Whatever It Takes is a collection of true stories of courage and hope, as told by Rabbi Shea Hecht, a communal leader for forty years in the Crown Heights community of Brooklyn, New York. Rabbi Shea grew up under the tutelage of his eminent father, Rabbi J.J. Hecht, OBM, translator and spokesman for the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ZY”A, and advocate for the Jewish community in New York City and state governments.

As a community rabbi, Shea Hecht has seen it all, from glory to disaster and back again to greater glory. Now, he has put his experiences into book form. Whatever It Takes is storytelling at its most poignant and powerful.
