A book by Rabbi Yehuda Ben Abraham

The Distance From Here to There

Responsibility, Survival, and the Human Soul

Drawing on his work as a rabbi, police officer, and chaplain, Rabbi Yehuda Ben Abraham reflects on what duty asks of the human soul—and how people carry responsibility, survive what they have witnessed, and find their way back to connection and meaning. The book brings lived experience into conversation with Jewish wisdom, offering an honest companion for first responders, caregivers, clergy, and anyone shaped by service.
