Every year, thousands of young people die, leaving in their wake circles of grieving friends in need of support. Many look to how rabbis understand loss but Judaism lacks a defined mourning process for non-family members. Faith Unravels speaks to the profound pain experienced by a forgotten mourner, not by making an argument about God or by offering a recipe of rituals, but by sharing the poignant story of a rabbi’s faith lost and regained anew. Mayim Bialik (Actor, “The Big Bang Theory”) writes in her foreword, “Rabbi Greyber has done something magnificent with the book you are holding in your hands. He has shared of himself, revealed in the most intimate way where loss can take you, and where it can’t. He has allowed us a peek inside a world of religious observance, beauty, and joy, and in doing so has laid bare the profundity of Judaism. This book is not preachy or full of instructions. It’s a personal testament of love for the Jewish people, God, and those friends he loved and lost.”
