In KADDISHEL—A LIFE REBORN; Bennett Golub assists his father Aharon with documenting his personal history; to both better understand himself and to preserve these experiences for future generations. In doing so; the reader is given a first-hand look at three major historical eras—traditional Jewish life in a small Polish town; the mindless horrors of the Nazis; and the formation of the state of Israel. It is an indication of Aharon’s strength that even after witnessing the death of his family members; his resolve is not rage or hatred but rather; the deep conviction that the Jewish people need their own homeland and the power to protect themselves the world over. Aharon’s journey leads eventually to America where he raises his own family and has his own Kaddishel to live on and help him tell his story. "This book is rich with memories and with history; with the richness of Jewish culture. Reading it is truly a rewarding experience." --Arthur Kurzweil
