From carefree Bavarian partygoer to rabbi in Jerusalem: Rabbi David Kraus tells a disarmingly honest, full of humor and very inspiring story of how he found his way to the Jewish faith - and how life's adversities can be transformed into sources of happiness.In his book, father of four David Kraus recounts with great humor and irrepressible gratitude his journey from a young man who loved fast cars and nightlife to a rabbi in Jerusalem and helper and advisor to countless people. It was a stroke of fate in the form of an anti-Semitic attack that first confined him to his sickbed for months - and at the same time made him reflect on the meaning of his life. Today, David Kraus is a rabbi bursting with joie de vivre - and one who knows life. His book tells his almost unbelievable story and at the same time reaches beyond the autobiographical, for Rabbi Kraus draws wisdom from his winding path to happiness and provides answers to the big questions of life. Using his own story, he shows how much wisdom there is in Judaism and in the Torah, and how much this wisdom can help people today in overcoming strokes of fate. A rabbi bursting with joie de vivre. With his story, David Kraus shows us how to find happiness. True to life, humorous and very inspiring "Life may not be easy - but it is beautiful!" Rabbi Kraus.
