Dear MBD Fan, I'm excited to announce that my first book, "50 Years of Mordechai Ben David: Shabbos Table Songbook," is now available! It's the only one in the world of its kind.

Ktav Publishing House. New.. Ktav Publishing House, 2008. New.. To write about Abraham today would appear to be a peculiar, if not absurd, undertaking. How can an ancient figure, enveloped in the fog of mystery and (in the opinion of today s cynical man) myth, fascinate the imagination and vision of modern scholars and preachers?

Why watch a bubble riding on the crest of a wave disappearing at the distant horizon, while a mighty tide rolls on toward us and breaks at our feet Excerpt from Abraham s Journey.Abraham's Journey: Reflections on the Life of the Founding Patriarch… Read More
