About the Book

For over 100 years, Congregation Sons of Israel has been the thriving spiritual home of observant Jews in Brooklyn's Bensonhurst. As that neighborhood grew throughout the 20th Century, from a small seaside community to a middle-class haven for immigrants and others, the rabbis, officers and congregants built a center of worship, education and service based on the highest principles of the Torah. From the early 1940s to today, Jack Klein was at the center of it all. Taking office in 1974, he is the longest-serving president in the congregation's history. In these pages Mr. Klein tells the incredible story of perseverance through times of challenge and triumph for Sons of Israel, the United States and the Jewish people. There are many congregations in Bensonhurst, but only one known as the Big Shul, a center of Jewish life that proudly remains in service today.

About the Author :
Mr. Jack Klein was born in Belgium and came to America with his parents and sister when he was a little boy right after the outbreak of World War II in 1941. They settled in Bensonhurst and lived in an apartment house directly diagonal to the shul. His family became active in the congregation. As a youth he conducted many programs. He attended the Talmudical Academy of Brooklyn and later studied for three years at Mesivta Tifereth Jerusalem under Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. Later on, he went into the jewelry business, became active in the shul and married Ruth, whose family were Sephardic pioneers in America. In 1974, he was elected president of the synagogue and has guided it through many hard times and good times he remains president to this day. He raised his family with two children, Asher and Faige and many grandchildren. Mr. Klein felt that there were few people around anymore who knew the rich history of the congregation and so he undertook to write this book. He hopes it will be of interest and inspire us all to continue the legacy of the synagogue. The material for this book was acquired through archives, manuscripts journals and documents and especially personal memories. I would like to thank Adam Dickter for his help in editing and publishing this book. His help was very important. I also express gratitude to my wife Ruth for her efforts to make this book a reality.
