Produktbeschreibung

A journey of faith and service unfolds through the life of a dedicated police chaplain and congregational rabbi, whose unwavering commitments to the community and the spirit of compassion has left an indelible mark on the countless lives in New York City and beyond.

From humble beginnings in Paterson, New Jersey, to becoming the only chaplain in NYPD history to attain the rank of Three-Star Chief, The Life and Work of Rabbi Alvin Kass tells the inspiring story of a man who has spent nearly six decades in unwavering service to the people of New York as both a congregational rabbi and police chaplain.

Rabbi Kass is not only the longest-serving member of the New York City Police Department but also a spiritual leader, crisis responder, and bridge-builder whose legacy transcends religious and civic boundaries. Through valleys of grief, moments of humor, and decades of quiet heroism, his journey reflects the very best of faith and public service.

Told in his own words, this richly detailed portrait features intimate reflections from family, friends, and colleagues, including Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, Temple Emanu-El Rabbi Ronald Sobel, and other civic and religious leaders. More than 100 rare photographs- from childhood snapshots and family milestones to solemn rituals of official duty-offer a visual narrative as poignant as the prose.

The Life and Work of Rabbi Alvin Kass is a tribute to a life of purpose, compassion, and enduring impact-a story for anyone who believes in the power of service, faith, and the strength of the human spirit.
