Ahava Ehrenpreis looks beyond the label to see the soul within
An anthology of voices reflect on the “More than Special” kids among us, including hashkafah, salient advice, and a rich variety of first-person accounts and essays.
One word: Saadya Ehrenpreis. (All right, that was two words!)
To elaborate: I was inspired to write this book following the petirah of my son Saadya a”h from COVID-19. I wanted to memorialize him in a way that would benefit Klal Yisrael, that would continue his legacy of trying to make things “Okay!” for everyone. I wanted Saadya’s story to provide chizuk, validation, and encouragement to families with individuals with special needs.
But more than that, I wanted to include resources to help mold the way we look at the challenges. I wanted gedolim to help us understand the role of every individual in halachah, in hashkafah, whatever their “capability.” I wanted psychologists and therapists to define what is “normal.” I wanted to discuss financial and legal planning.
