At a young age, I was a corporate executive in Atlanta, a Personnel Manager for a warehouse with 300 stores, 1000 miles from my birthplace in Springfield, Massachusetts. Fired from my first three jobs after University in 1977, I felt it nearly impossible to be both traditional and practical because of my Jewish beliefs. My conviction not to work on the Jewish Sabbath as commanded on Mount Sinai did not seem natural in America, I felt different and often hid my Jewish identity to fit in. I decided to go East 6,000 miles to the City of Peace, called Jerusalem. "As I was walking between classes at Hebrew University with my professor at the Institute of Contemporary Jewry, he said with my background that I should try to humanize business. I thought , what a wonderful idea, but it seemed absurd. I learned from the Torah of Moses that Jacob called Yaakov and later Israel, was honest in his business dealings, so I now had a role model to try and follow." His work in Israel was to improve business. This was only if I was able to improve myself. I decided to learn much Torah through many great teachers called rabbis. He realized like every great Torah personality, one has to leave home to start living a life based in Torah knowledge. One of the many faces of Torah involves character development to improve the world. The Jewish People the Torah and the Holy Land was the eternal hope and plan for the Creator at Sinai. His mission today is make this dream become a reality for all Jews to find a spark of return. Jews can be a light unto the nations bridging the common element and focus of the Creator, to make Jerusalem great again for all nations. His book is the formula to do just that and restore the peace and kindness to the world that the revelation at Mount Sinai whose smoke on the mountain and fire in the sky appeared. The fire inside me is still alive to share with all the nations, and my fellow Jews in the pages of Dodging With the Devil Only If Lead. This book will transform and change the reader from the negative attitudes and stereotypes and to see the common good in one another and to make a common bridge for all people of faith to get along as the Torah secrets are revealed for greater understanding as to why the world is so crazy as it says in written ancient texts.

“Rav Gruber engages the reader in some of the most important issues and events in our times.” “I have known Berel for 6 years since I made Aliya to Israel. I used to meet him mainly at the home of Avraham Timset on a Friday evening, where I always enjoyed his erudite and learned D’var Torah, spoken with insight and with new chidushim. My son is a rabbi and Mashgiach at Keren BeYavna Yeshiva with his 9 children. I hope to discuss and learn from Berel’s new book when I am there on Shabbat.” “Gruber’s work in Israel was to improve business.
