GET UPDATES FROM Roger Isaacs
 
From the early 1950s until 1965, Roger D. Isaacs worked with his father, the noted hematologist and biblical scholar Dr. Raphael Isaacs, on the theory that is now explored in Talking With God. This collaboration culminated in a monograph on the subject entitled “Puzzling Biblical Laws” (Bloch, 1965). After Dr. Isaacs’ death in 1965, Roger Isaacs launched into independent research on the subject, which became the foundation of this book.

Mr. Isaacs attended the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin (Madison). His education was interrupted by World War II. During the war, he served with the 87th Infantry division in France and Germany where he received the Purple Heart. After the war, Isaacs continued his education at Bard College and graduated with a degree in Language and Literature.

From 1948 to 1992, Isaacs was an executive with The Public Relations Board, an international public relations agency, where he served as Chairman and president until he sold the company to the communications conglomerate Omnicom. Isaacs has two children and four grandchildren and lives in Glencoe, Illinois, with his wife, Joyce.

In addition to his father, Mr. Isaacs comes from a long line of biblical scholars. His great grandfather was the religious leader Schachne Isaacs, who established the leading orthodox synagogue in Cincinnati known as “Reb Schachne’s Schule” in the 1800s.
