After taking Eretz Yisroel by storm and selling more than 30,000 copies, the bestselling book I Didn’t Ask to Be Born has finally arrived in English.

Praised by religious and non-religious Jews alike, this powerful and thought-provoking book is now available in print for English readers and is already generating major excitement.

To encourage the community to support local bookstores, the book will be sold exclusively in stores for the first three weeks before becoming available on Amazon.

To mark the launch, Rabbi Manis Friedman and Dr. Elad Ben Elul walked up Kingston Avenue, stopping in local bookstores and meeting students, friends, and community members along the way. Everywhere they went, people were excited to see the new book on the shelves.

A special book launch event is scheduled for Tuesday in Crown Heights.

Titled I Didn’t Ask to Be Born, the book explores a range of timeless and deeply relevant topics that touch every part of life. Its message is powerful, practical, and deeply impactful.

“Since the book became such a sensation in Israel, I got countless requests for an English version,” said co-author Dr. Elad Ben Elul. “It’s the sort of book that you read and then want everyone you know to read as well. So I’m very excited that we can finally share the message in English. I’m sure it will inspire many people.”

Readers have also been quick to share how strongly the book has affected them. “This is the kind of book that after every chapter you need a few moments to think,” said Talia. Noam called it “simply life-changing” and said it is “a must-have in every Jewish home.”

Rabbi Zalman Friedman, director of It’s Good to Know, offered a bold endorsement: “If you read this book and your outlook on life doesn’t change, we will give you your money back. (if you bought it from us).”

Short, engaging, and easy to read, I Didn’t Ask to Be Born is a book with the potential to inspire, uplift, and transform countless lives. Give it a chance — it may change the way you look at life.
