SOL'S STORY

We are lucky to have Sol Rosenberg as a member of our Congregation for so many reasons. His life story explains so much about why he is the wonderful man that he is and why he is loved by so many. Through the excellent writing of  Dr. Richard Charkoff, a fellow member of Congregation B'nai Israel, Mr. Rosenberg has shared his experience and trials from the Holocaust. His book, Sol's Story, is a remarkable heart wrenching story that will capture your soul and attention.
