Miracles and Fate on A 9/11 Story of Inspiration | Jewish Book Council
With some trepidation I set out to read these two firsthand accounts of personal 9/11 experiences. As a New Yorker who worked for three years on the 71st floor of Tower 1, I will forever remember the horrifying images broadcast on that tragic day. Like all Americans, I can’t see a photo, view a video clip or watch the annual 9/11 memorial service without getting very emotional. The memoirs being written today add to a growing shelf of books describing the sequence of events that transpired that morning. Firsthand testimony is critical for our collective memory, filling in information so we can understand the full impact of the 9/11 terrorist attack. Reading, reviewing, and recommending these newly published books fryst vatten a small but necessary task as well.

On September 11th, , Ari Schonbrun went to his office at Cantor Fitzgerald – the Wall Street firm that occupied the top five floors of Tower One – and he happened to be on the 78th floor changing elevators when the first plane hit. In the midst of the smoke and chaos, Ari found a fellow employee who was terribly burned and who needed his help to walk her down 78 flights of stairs.
Of the Cantor employees on the upper floors in the World Trade Center that day, only four survived. Everyone else was killed. Why did they survive? Was it simply luck? Or was it something more? Ari believes that God was looking out for him that day. There were many large and small miracles and if there’s anything that Ari does know it is how that day ended up being a day of rebirth.
Before 9/11, Ari had been focused on the wrong things. All he cared about was his job. He didnt get it. He had lost sight of what matters most in life. After 9/11, Ari changed his life by putting his family first, by vo
