Discovering the Rabbi Within: A Memoir

By Sholom Groesberg

There are people who subconsciously yearn for a life suffused with spirituality. Too often, the constraints imposed by the realities of day-to-day living thwart this impulse.This book is an autobiographical memoir describing the experiences of someone whomanaged to realize his dream of becoming a rabbi.Truth to tell, I was not even remotely aware of this desire until I was sixty years of age. As a high schooler I'd elected to make a career in engineering, and succeeded in doing so. I started out as a draftsman (at the munificent salary of $24 per week), and moved up to team leader. I then switched over to academe, and moved up through the hierarchy of professorial ranks-ending up as dean of engineering at Widener University.In 1980, ensconced in my black leather swivel chair, and idly gazing out at the campusadorned in springtime greenery, a dream angel slumbering peacefully deep within therecesses of my subconscious suddenly surfaced: "Hey you! Enough is enough! You'rebored doing the same old same old; time to move on!"Roused out of my reverie, I harkened to the 'call'. This book is the story of my metamorphosis from engineer to rabbi, a spiritually fulfilling transmutation for which I'll be eternally grateful.
