Raisins & Almonds

”

This book is a series of
vignettes in the life of a man, born in Jewish Harlem, detailing the love, the
joys and the sorrows he encountered on a journey that began when his mother
died in the Flu Epidemic of 1918 when he was 3 days old.  The journey is, at times, poignant, humorous
and sad, but through it all runs the thread of love exemplified by the Yiddish
cradlesong of the title, sung by his Papa. 
The journey takes the reader through a childhood in Harlem
and the Bronx, experiences in the army, through medical
school and beyond. 

“Raisins and Almonds” was written
at the request of his wife and children who wanted to know about his life
before they came into it.
