It is the tale of how one newly takes on the world, having lived in the midst of corpses strewn about in the scores of thousands, and how one can possibly resume life in the aftermath of such experiences. It is the story of the child who decides, upon growing up, that the only career that makes sense for him in light of these years of horror is to become someone sensitive to the deepest flaws of humanity, a teacher of God's role in history amidst the traditions that attempt to understand it--and to become a rabbi. Readers will not emerge unscathed from this searing work, written by a distinguished, Boston-based rabbi and academic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Polak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9655241629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789655241624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Urim Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.60w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Jewish Book Award - Winner","brand":"Joseph Polak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979146625279,"sku":"9789655241624","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa2fcb27-b1e1-4c7f-a9cf-8bc9e4f00f1b.jpg?v=1683244312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-the-holocaust-the-bells-joseph-polak-9789655241624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
