Before I Forget Herbert Rosenblum

Going boldly forward . . .

This book is a memoir written and edited by Herbert Rosenblum, reflecting the several dimensions of his personal, professional, and communal involvements. His young years on New York City's Lower East Side, his educational and professional training and growth, and his decades of religious and academic service in New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania are recounted in considerable detail. The book is divided into several sections--inspirational anecdotes, extended interviews, and autobiographical chapters--intertwined to convey a portrait of an extended career of religious, academic, and communal activities. His personal and professional experiences have been deeply enriched by his familial and career involvements and have given this narrative a grippingly humanistic character. His world has changed much during his blessedly long lifetime, and his life patterns have been greatly influenced by the historical experiences that have taken place in our shared local, national, and international environments.
