Amazing Jewish Heroes Down Through The Ages Hardcover – 2015 by David Richard Goldberg (Gefen Publishing House)

The achievements of American heroes like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln certainly resonate with us, but how many Jewish heroes come to mind over the years? Who are the historical figures of Jewish heritage, famous and not-so-famous, who overcame tremendous challenges to achieve greatness? This groundbreaking new book, Amazing Jewish Heroes Down Through The Ages, captures the fascinating lives of Jewish heroes who have contributed to freedom, equality, and justice for the United States, for Israel, and for the Jewish people throughout recorded history. How many Jewish heroes over thousands of years have encountered virulent anti-Semitism, humiliation, and threats of death, instead achieving major contributions to our world? The eleven heroes presented here all persevered with their faith in G-d and belief in freedom and human dignity. Their stories are truly amazing and have stood the test of time. Mr. Goldberg was inspired to write the story of his recent trip to Israel in 2012, in his book entitled Our Trip to Israel: Memories of a Lifetime. As a result of the research for this book, and following a high holiday sermon, Mr. Goldberg was motivated to explore the lives of the great heroes expounded on in his new book, Amazing Jewish Heroes. Mr. Goldberg is a father of three children and grandfather of six, and resides with his wife Janie in south Florida. A Northeastern University Business Administration graduate, he has had a successful career as a financial consultant and businessman.
