Product Description
by William Semenow (Author)
On a hot July morning in 1986 the author and his family stumbled out of an El Al flight from New York onto the Holy Land, fulfilling a two thousand year dream of his People. The Wild East would be one way of describing their new home. Transitions were not always smooth, but it was worth the trouble. The Semenows encountered challenges universal to new immigrants to any country - new customs, new culture, schooling, employment, army service, etc. Through the years the author becomes a student, member of the Israeli Bar, rabbi, matchmaker, fundraiser, administrator and writer.
In this volume you'll find intriguing stories from the Talmud, humorous and entertaining vignettes from the life and struggles of the author and his family and deep discussions of the foundations of Jewish Philosophy, Intelligent Design, Free Will and Determinism, Jewish religious law, and customs of modern Jewish dating and marriage. The author's politics and an analysis of the psychology of the supporters of Donald Trump are also put under his microscope.
