62 pages.


Sadly, this book at it's onset reminds me of the wonderful relationships between neighbors we read about regarding the Surfside collapse in Florida.
///
I loved the first part of this book. Two men from different professional back-rounds become friends, learning about each others morals, values, and living life.
At some point in the book, the retired Rabbi's conversations pertaining to his views of stations in life to his Arab friend changed. The style of those conversations changed to the like of a sermon. I felt that style changed the intimacy of their friendship. I love the fact the two men were friends and naturally cultivated a relationship.
I, also by nature find it difficult to have conversations of that style when feeling I am being preached to.

**Thank you Petra !!!

Delightfult Inspirational Read

Yacoub's story of the Rabbi's teachings inspires me to go deeper in my own quest for personal development. As I was learning from the teacher as well, I found the book hard to put down.
