“In March, the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center in New York welcomed Daniel Gross to discuss his new book about Edmond Safra. He was a wonderful, engaging speaker who led our audience on a fascinating journey into a Jewish dynasty about which few knew anything. He opened up our view of the diversity of the Jewish experience, limning Safra’s unique approach to navigating the world of high finance as a Jew, his is willingness to acculturate but not assimilate. Gross brought Edmond and his world to life, provoked endless questions and, as a Safra niece in the audience wrote us, “making us proud to be Safras.”
