Journey Through the Minefields
From Vietnam to Washington
An Orthodox Surgeons Odyssey (Published 2004)

More than an autobiography of a distinguished Jewish leader, this book mirrors American and Jewish history in the second half of the twentieth century.

Ganchrow has met and conferred with many of the personalities who have fashioned our contemporary world-Prime Ministers and kings, American Presidents from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton, members of both the Israeli Knesset and the U.S. Congress, and numerous religious leaders.

Here is a life that spells loyalty to principle, leadership, and a living example of how one can be dedicated to the cause of American democracy, Jewish faith, the Torah way of life, and the welfare of all Jews.

Available at Jewish bookstores, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and my publisher, Bartleby Press.

Entering The Covenant

An anthology of Torah thoughts on Bris Milah
Published 2001- Art Scroll Press

Dr. Mandell I. Ganchrow, past president of the Orthodox Union, continues the public service that he began with his trailblazing Sason VeSimcha, for which he recruited scores of prominent rabbis and laymen to present their original Sheva Berachos messages. Deservedly popular and widely used, that volume elicited calls for the same sort of anthology of Bris Milah and Pidyon Haben messages. Dr. Ganchrow heard and responded. The table of contents reads like a who’s who of America’s best thinkers and speakers. Their contributions sparkle and stimulate, as they present their finest messages for Bris Milah and Pidyon Haben, for every week and occasion of the year.

Is this a book only for nervous speakers? Not at all. It is a treasury of ideas that teach and stimulate about faith and courage, about the Torah’s challenge to us all in every age. It is fascinating reading for everyone, because each contributor has his own style, his unique message, his personal perspective, and his own rich life experience. Read Entering the Covenant. Use it. Think about it. It will remain with you long after the event is over and long after you put it down.
