As the famous Zionist thinker, Asher Ginsberg, called himself, I am merely ahad ha’am.
My family’s story resembles many other Jewish families who found themselves in Europe in the beginning of the 20th century, tempest-tost.
Around our 1980s seder table sat a number of elders who seemed to come from another planet. The Yiddish speaking uncle who knew no language fluently except for Yiddish. Who exited Siberia with the Anders army and fought the Germans in North Africa under Montgomery. My own Romanian grandparents among others.
As for the story of my own life, if it was ordinary it would simply put you to sleep and if it was extraordinary it would come off as bragging. In truth, it’s probably a little of both and so I will choose to say nothing about it. I have included my own memoirs in the book only inasmuch as it contributes to supporting my ideas and never or as little as possible for the sake of writing about myself.
I would hope the strength of the ideas in the book are powerful enough to stand on their own. I realize the futility in most cases of attempting to affect the status quo yet that is exactly what I desire. Either way, the work, even before publishing yet, has already been a rewarding and satisfying endeavor.ver menos
