From Central Park to Sinai
A warm personal account of the author's search for answers to the most basic questions. Born into a convention and comfortable life, Roy Neuberger discovered that everything was not enough. His strong academic background and inquisitive mind led him through a series of "-ism"s until he returned to that of his forefathers. The reader is drawn into his search. The open, direct, and almost intimate style of the book makes the reader feel more like a participant than an observer. A reader will recognize his own frustrations, and finally share in the author's satisfaction and joy. From Central Park to Sinai is informative, educational and enriching. A great deal of wisdom is included in this small volume. The brief interval required of the reader is richly rewarded.

A Moving Book for People of All Faiths
Roy Neuberger's personal story has a strong message even for non-Jews and for people who are not religious. His personal search for God is very moving and is written in a charming, conversational style. I was especially taken with his numerous stories about he and his wife, Leah, helping so many people from various walks of life. There are important messages in this book that will help all of us to live better and more enriching lives.

Inspiring Vignettes About Returning to Ones Spiritual Roots
Roy Neubergers book is part biographical, part inspirational tome and part road map for those seeking the way back to their Jewish roots. The author nicely weaves a long series of spiritual short stories in his book as he makes his way from living a secular life in the suburbs, to a spiritual life based on the timeless truths of Judaism as written in the Torah. The authors enthusiam for his subject really shines through as does his hope for anybody seeking genuine fulfillment in life. One comes away thinking that coincidence is often G-d's way of trying to tell us something. The book is truly inspiring in that the author is able to convey his sense of mission to help others return to their Jewish roots without being overbearing. A marvelous and easy book to read that tugs at the mind, the heart, and sometimes the funny bone too!
