Jewish Fathers: a Legacy of Love

Plot

First came Mothers. Now Fathers. The format is straightforward: 44 fathers were interviewed and photographed and each one speaks for himself about his life and his experiences as a parent. These presentations tend to be autobiographical often empasizing activites and achievents that have nothing to do with fatherhood. More space is sometimes given to the interviewee's relationship with his own father than with his children. A motif that runs throughout the book is the determination of most of the father to preserve Jewish continutiy.
