Times Square Rabbi: Finding the Hope in Lost Kids' Lives

by Yehudah Fine, Thomas Buckner (Photographer)

Overview

"The message Yehudah brings to parents and teens...is that even when a teenager's life is in crisis, caring can produce profound transformation," writes The Chicago Tribune. As reported by Hadassah Magazine, Yehudah Fine "spent ten years as the 'Times Square Rabbi,' patrolling the New York streets, reaching out to homeless teens, runaways, and prostitutes." These are his stories, real and fictionalized, heartbreaking and uplifting, diverse as the city streets themselves. Formerly from Hazelden Press, this special republication by Unlimited Publishing LLC preserves gripping accounts of Fine's unique experiences for a new generation of readers.
