Yaffa Liebermann was born in Kfar-Ata, Israel in 1945. She became a Physical Therapist and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the 1967 war, where she gained experience treating war-related injuries from both sides of the fence. Yaffa worked in a variety of settings: hospitals, out-patients, psychiatric facilities, home care rehabilitation for spinal cord, and brain trauma in Israel, Switzerland, and the U.S.A. (Virginia and New Jersey). She found her love and passion while working with the elderly in the nursing home environment in New Jersey. Yaffa became a Geriatric Certified Specialist (GCS), board certified by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) in 1998.In 1996, Yaffa founded Prime Rehabilitation Services, Inc, along with her husband and her daughter Tamar, with the goal of providing the highest quality rehabilitation services to sub-acute nursing home facilities throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.From working in the field, she saw the need to author four books. Her first book was focused on care for a stroke patient, instructing caregivers on the proper care of patients in the first few days after the stroke and continued home care. Three more books were about correct children's posture, with the hope that they will learn how to stand up straight at a young age and carry their bodies with pride.

Tamar Brooks has a Masters in Engineering and a Masters in Business Administration. She, along with her two daughters, Rachel and Kaila, worked to edit The Kiddush Cup. It was a family effort to create this book.
REVIEW 1A real story about a traditional Jewish family in Eastern
Europe and their struggle for survival while attaching to a Kiddush
cup as a symbol of hope for a better life. I found the book "The
Kiddush Cup" easy to read. It describes the harsh reality but in a
friendly and optimistic way. This story could have been about my
family and possibly many other second-generation Holocaust
survivors who migrated to Israel. This book is not just a single
family history but a window to the past, focusing on family and
tradition. It's essential to share this experience with the current
and young generation. We probably lost this feeling as many family
members are spread all over the planet, and we don't often have
communal traditional Friday night dinners with blessings and wine
sipping from a Kiddush cup. Yaffa Liberman described some aspects
of a Jewish family in Poland in 1939. The story raises some
thoughts about our current life and our role in building a
tradition for the future. It made me think about our present life;
we experience rising antisemitism and racial tensions. Can these
events happen again? Today's significant difference is that Israel
is an independent state where all Jews can find a homeland.Dr.

REVIEW 2A Must Read Personal Account Steeped in Emotion and
Historical SignificanceI received this book as a gift and did not
expect to be so impacted by this story of courage, fate and
decision making. The details and the historical background are
beautifully incorporated and I felt as if I was actually there,
going through this very difficult time. I seldom write reviews but,
I found myself overwhelmed with emotion and decided to share.Haidi
