Coffee Melts Bars, powerfully blows the cell door off their hinges, revealing - for the first time ever! - life inside the explosive, hot-headed and totally dangerous world of Israel's maximum security prisons.

But, the underlying feeling one realizes, through Jacobs' fantastic personality is: Life without humor is not funny! Get this book. It will change how you view prison, people and luck.It may change your life. It will give you hope!
Autorenporträt
Publisher's Bio Indeed, Fishel Jacobs certainly fits the idyllic persona of a Jewish Rabbi. Yet there is so much more to this explosive public figure. His acclaim as a prolific author and public speaker only graze his unique accomplishments-which also include karate champion (capable of breaking 15" of solid brick with his fist) Talmudic scholar, prison chaplain, lieutenant in an Israel Army combat engineering unit on active duty during the Gulf War, and Tel Aviv University Chabad campus chaplain for nearly 20 years. This man is truly blessed. He grew up as scrawny kid, Flip (Philip) Jacobs in South Royalton, Vermont, who learned the art of karate for self-defense before becoming a master, then finding Judaism at the University of Vermont, enrolling in yeshivah in Israel and getting ordination, smichah, from the Chief Rabbinate. He then became a spiritual mentor for the Ramle, Israel Prison Complex, offering an understanding and compassionate-albeit firm-hand to some of society's worst repeat offenders and serial criminals.
