Wake Up, Wake Up, To Do the Word of the Creator is the account of life in a warm orthodox Jewish family in New York City. The author, William B. Helmreich, relates a personal account of what it was like to be a growing boy in the home of pious, faithful Jewish parents. One is heartened by the depth of piety and the meaningfulness of ancient rituals and customs. Above all, one senses the love and closeness present in such a God-fearing family. Helmreich confesses the strong attachment he had for his family by which he was also drawn to concentrated study in the scriptures.
