Originating in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Yisrael Haber decided at a young age that he wanted to bring Jews closer to Torah - and that he wanted to travel to do it. From his basketball coach days in Dallas to his job as an Air Force chaplain in Alaska, Haber`s autobiography shows the reader what it`s like to spread Judaism to all corners of the earth - including the building of the first
mikve
in Alaska. Published originally in Hebrew despite having been written in English, Haber`s work has finally been translated into its original language. Haber currently runs a Chabad House in the Golan.
