The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyard Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.

Why Triple Chai? Rabbi Stephen Fuchs' readers are even more curious as to what makes a rabbi tick! Since "Why the Kof? Getting the Best of Rabbi Fuchs" was such a hit, it seemed only natural to compile another anthology (fifty-four, to be exact) of Rabbi Fuchs' most illuminating and riveting essays (to date). Rabbi Fuchs reveals his formula for a happy and fulfilling marriage in "How I Stayed Married for Forty-Three Years." The answers just might surprise you! Check out the "Dedication" page for a sneak peek. On a serious note, the rabbi shares his memories of friends and congregants who have passed away and the meaningful legacies they left behind. In another direction, he explores an unexpected correlation between doo-wop and pop music and the Torah. You will find these in the "Falling Stars" chapter. Bonus: Thanks to the rabbi's wife Mrs. Victoria Steinberg Fuchs and her mother, artist Stefanie Steinberg, we are treated to a glimpse of life, travel, and anti-Semitism through a Jewish woman's lens. And of course, after reading this book, you too will know the answer to that enigmatic question, "Why Triple Chai?"
