In an age without mentors and roots, listen to this sage Jewish grandfather, with his stories about his amazing life and his gentle advice for succeeding in your own. You’ll hear the importance of family devotion, responsibility for and generosity to community, good nutrition and a regular health regimen, devotion to religion,and some very savvy business tips—all spiced with memorable Yiddish expressions. This book is sure to instruct and inspire.

Smith Companies, president of the Institute of Psychobiology in Jerusalem, editor-in-chief of Crystal City Magazine and a freelance writer. He and his grandfather wrote three books and a film together, and with his mother he wrote the first artist’s book for the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
