From Central Park to Sinai: How I
Found My Jewish Soul by Roy S.
Neuberger
An Unparalled Spiritual Journey
Son of the brilliant founder of a thriving Wall Street investment firm, Roy S.
Neuberger was raised in elegant surroundings on Manhattans Upper East
Side, overlooking the splendor of Central Park. Blessed with the finest
education and the opportunity to partake of New Yorks cultural bounty,
Roy developed the kind of youthful sophistication that only the privileged
can know. Why, when I have everything, do I feel as if I have nothing?
For Roy Neuberger life was an inexplicable nightmare. Terrified of the
black forces that seemed to engulf him, he was on a rapidly whirling
downward spiral. Is there a door that leads to truth? Is there a door that
leads to happiness? At 2:00 a.m., Monday, January 10, 1966, then a
twenty-three-year-old graduate student at the University of Michigan, Roy
awoke with a start. His marriage was disintegrating; his grades were
plummeting. He couldnt breathe; he had lost control. What else was there
besides death? It was then that Roy began to think the unthinkable:

Perhaps there is a reality beyond mans understanding…. Perhaps Roy
Neuberger is not the center of the universe. Thus began a desperate
search for truth that would lead him to immersion in Hinduism, Buddhism,
Protestantism, and Catholicism. The answer did not come until eight years
later, when he unexpectedly heard a message that would shake him to the
core and give him the courage to reclaim his long-buried Jewish soul.
Written with unbridled passion, uncommon humility, and disarming
candor, From Central Park to Sinai takes us on a tumultuous emotional
journey from an empty secular life to a world of spiritual richness, guided
by the belief that there is a very real entity Who created the world and
whose rules we are obliged to follow. Roy Neubergers remarkable
transformation from a Central Park rich kid to a deeply religious Jew
mesmerizes, fascinates, inspires, and ultimately comforts us with the
knowledge that if we dare to look within, we, too, can find the path to
Sinai. Foreword by Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis. Illustrated with black-and-
white photographs.
Personal Review: From Central Park to Sinai: How I Found My
Jewish Soul by Roy S. Neuberger
To say that Roy Neuberger's book entitled "From Central Park to Sinai"
was a real page turner, is a definite understatement. This most engrossing
and captivating book details the story of a personal transformation of a
man searching for spiritual meaning and purpose in his life. The grandson
of a great rabbi and founder of the "Mussar" movement in Judaism, Rabbi
Yisroel Salanter, Roy Neuberger's life couldn't be further apart from that of
his grandfather. Educated in the traditions of ethical culturalism, Mr.
Neuberger felt an ever present spiritual vacuum in his life and as such he
embarked on a personal quest for truth, via the study of Catholicism,
Protestantism and a whole host of other religions and value systems. He
even wrote a book detailing why these other religions and their credos
were superior to that of Judaism and why Judaism held no meaning.
Accompanying Mr. Neuberger on his trajectory towards spiritual fulfillment
was that of his beloved wife, Linda, also a student of ethical culturalism.
The fear and uncertainty that plagued Mr. Neuberger throughout his life
could be simply termed as a man living through a perpetual anxiety attack
with no relief in sight.
It would seem that G-d heard the inner cry and pain of Mr. Neuberger, and
as destiny would have it, he was guided in the direction of Rebbetzen
Esther Jungreis. That night in Neuburgh, NY changed the course of an
entire generation of Neubergers. Mr. Neuberger was deeply impressed
with Rebbetzen Jungreis' Torah message and he began to attend her
classes on a weekly basis, despite the hardship of traveling such a long
distance during a fuel crisis. Rebbetzen Jungreis served as a conduit to
bring the message of G-d's love and compassion to a man who hungered
and thirsted for spiritual guidance and meaning. In essence, Mr. Neuberger
began to fall in love with G-d, embracing His Torah and commandments.

Since that time, Mr. Neuberger and his wife have raised a beautiful family
steeped in Torah values and has spread his joy and understanding of
spiritual truth with hundreds of people who he has invited to his home to
enjoy the uplifting experience of Shabbos.
Mr. Neuberger's story will not only inspire, but will captivate the heart and
soul of the reader. It is a must read for anyone searching for guidance and
truth and even for those who are not searching for anything in particular. It
is a welcome addition to any library and will remain within the recesses of
the soul for posterity.
