From the Publisher
Taken from his carefully kept diaries, Mr. Levy writes in the short, concise, readable sentences that echoes the style of Hemingway. He was a ”Jewish “Everyman” maintaining his religious attitudes and practices in the army, under difficult circumstances and in many of the countries of the Middle East. Like his illustrious grandfather, Rabbi Hirsch, he feels the need to be near the smell and touch of books, and his understated wit is evident on every page.
About the Author
Samson Raphael Levy is the great-grandson of the illustrious 19th Century biblical scholar, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. Like his namesake, Levy has assiduously sought to defend his religious beliefs both in his writings and by personal example. In this memoir, which takes us from 1918 through today, Samson has recorded many of the great moments of the 20th Century, especially those that led to the creation of "The State of Israel.
Book Description
A scion of the great 19th Century biblical scholar Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsh, Samson Raphael Levy is an active bibliophile living a quiet, ordered life in his beloved Jerusalem. But his life was not always quiet and ordered. Samson was in the RAF during the “Great War” and was present during the pivotal days of Jewish independence in 1948 and onward.
