Nachum had the honor of welcoming Rabbi Joseph Karasick to this morning’s JM in the AM to explore his OU Press release “Thirteen Steps – Orthodox Judaism in America Comes of Age: My Life and Times.” It was a fascinating look at the life of a modern-day legendary rabbinic figure. From the book’s website: “Rabbi Karasick, a former president of the Orthodox Union, is both a front-row witness and contributor to the flourishing of Orthodox Judaism in America. Rabbi Karasick was at the forefront of a group of dedicated and talented individuals who helped turn the tide toward the survival of Orthodox Judaism, and his memoir brings this crucial period in American Jewish history to life.”
