It's hard to imagine the unimaginable. But to actually
live the unimaginable is beyond conception. Such is the life of Zak Ebrahim, whose father is the assassin of Rabbi Kahane, a prominent, albeit somewhat radial Jewish leader, as well as the mastermind of the underground bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. Ebrahim provides sufficient background so the reader can grasp what might have motivated his father's radicalism. More importantly, this is a story of how Ebrahim lived through indoctrination and retched suffering in his most formidable years and ultimately made the choice to embrace nonviolence, and be open to listening and understanding people of all types. Originally a TED talk, this book provides more detail and a more complete picture of the young man's life. Recommended for high school, this book will foster a great deal of conversation on many levels.
