With Gratitude: A Memoir of Gifts and Givers

By Jerrold S. Felsenthal

We are less alone in the world than we sometimes believe. There are people in our lives who show their concern for us by giving us gifts that may not immediately reveal their importance. With this memoir, Jerrold Felsenthal thanks the family members, friends and colleagues whose generosity was designed to give him the brightest possible future. He recognizes both the givers and the profound personal influence of these gifts in all of their life-changing forms.Acts of kindness after a sudden death in the family, mentorship across a career in real estate, and whispered advice on the power of listening and respect are just some of the things for which this author expresses gratitude. Along the way, he finds universal themes in Jewish traditions while inviting readers to appreciate their own spiritual, professional and interpersonal gifts that have made their lives more meaningful. Awareness of the parties to whom we should be grateful and the nature of what they bestowed upon us can lead to greater happiness. It can also forever change how we see ourselves and our place in society.
