An Athiest, Drug Dealer, and a Rabbi

How does one go from an atheist to a drug dealer, to a Rabbi? Growing up in New York City, Ira was an angry, disillusioned Orthodox Jew living with the hurt and shame of his parents' divorce. As a young adult, he wanted nothing to do with God or religion. Trying to find himself and his path in life, Ira pushed back on his father's beliefs and dropped out of college in Wisconsin and headed to Colorado where he earned a living in the "pharmaceutical business." As lost as he was in life, little did he know, his future was already shaped by the seeds of faith and prayer sown by his ancestors long before he was ever born. Then one day, this New York Jew met and married, Gloria, a Southern Baptist with a drinking problem, and then everything changed. Everything. It was rocky at first as anyone would imagine, but when Gloria had a spiritual transformation, Ira was forced to confront his belief system and everything he thought he knew about faith. An Atheist, Drug Dealer, and a Rabbi is a delightful multi-generational memoir that takes you on the highs and lows (literally) of Ira's rollercoaster journey from the hopeless world of addiction to the radiant light of redemption. It's a story of rebirth and transformation of a man who found his calling amid the darkest of circumstances. With elements of suspense, spiritual awakening, and a powerful narrative, this book is a testament to the boundless possibilities of faith, hope, and love, passed down from generation to generation.
