ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Any acknowledgment must begin with acknowledging The Source of all Knowledge and Acknowledgment, the Almighty for giving me the resilience and strength to finish this project.
This book, of course, is the product of so many people’s patience, advice, and encouragement. If I could, I would publish a second volume just filled with thank yous. My publisher, however, informed me that I cannot. So I would like to thank the following people for their help and support:
Institutional Support:
This book would not have been possible without the institutional support of NCSY, the youth movement of the Orthodox Union, where I serve as Director of Education. Under the leadership of Rabbi Micah Greenland, International Director, the organization has been on the forefront of teen inspiration for over six decades. I am so grateful for their support of my work.
Publisher and Editors:
This book benefited from the able and generous assistance of Alessandra Anzani of Academic Studies Press. She continued to believe in this project when it seemed no one else would. I am also so thankful to Dr. Shaul Magid, Professor of Religious Studies and the Jay and Jeannie Schottenstein Chair of Jewish Studies in Modern Judaism at Indiana University for graciously providing a foreword to this work and for his encouragement and support throughout. I have long been a student of Dr. Magid’s writings, so it was truly an honor to have him take such interest in my work. Jason Cohen admirably copy-edited this work and expertly navigated through desultory Talmudic discussions and obscure pop-culture references. Over several months, including several long Sundays, Jonathan Engel sat with me in my office looking over every detail of the manuscript. I could not have asked for a more competent and kind person to work with. Mrs. Joy Bashevkin was my first editor. She began editing my works in fifth grade and put in so much time into ensuring this manuscript did not sound like it was written by my fifth-grade self. The picture on the cover of the book was taken by celebrated photographer Menachem Kahana. From the moment I saw this picture many years ago, I connected with the boy underneath the table. In the room, but not quite at the table. I am honored he allowed his photograph to grace the cover of this volume. And to Mr. Joshua Weinberg, a noted creative director I have worked with for many years, thank you for your friendship, creative vision, and Friday afternoon dips.
