 ALAN DERSHOWITZ Author and Harvard Law professor 

“A magically well written universal story of identity and tradition that anyone, Jew or Gentile, can relate to. A Jew Grows In Brooklyn is so deeply rooted with honesty, humor, and emotion in every turn of the page, you will soon find it growing in your heart.” 
 - NEIL SEDAKA Singer and songwriter 

“Mr. Ehrenreich has more than a sense of humor, he has a sense of humanity that dives into the common river of human experience and gives voice to the silent, and sometimes forgotten, depths of our own precious memories. He is a storyteller-philosopher par excellence well worth the read.” 
 - TOVAH FELDHSUH, four-time Tony Award–nominated best actress 
 
“Despite a childhood shadowed by the Holocaust and family illness, Jake Ehrenreich has an ebullience and a humor that makes his memoir sheer pleasure. From Brooklyn to the Catskills to Greenwich Village…he remembers it all and tells it with a tender, funny, and thoughtful voice.”
