Alfred J. Kolatch, a graduate of the Teachers' Institute of Yeshiva University and its College of Liberal Arts, was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, which subsequently awarded him the Doctor of Divinity degree, honoris causa. From 1941 to 1948 he served as rabbi of congregations in Columbia, South Carolina, and Kew Gardens, New York, and as a chaplain in the United States Army. In 1948 he founded Jonathan David Publishers, of which he was also president and editor-in-chief. Rabbi Kolatch has authored numerous books, the most popular of which are the best-selling JEWISH BOOK OF WHY and its sequel, THE SECOND JEWISH BOOK OF WHY. Several of his works deal with nomenclature, about which he was an acknowledged authority. THE NEW NAME DICTIONARY and THE COMPLETE DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH AND HEBREW FIRST NAMES are among his most widely used references on the subject. Other books by the author include THE JEWISH BOOK OF WHY: THE TORAH, THE JEWISH MOURNER'S BOOK OF WHY, MASTERS OF THE TALMUD, and THE FAMILY SEDER. Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Harry Araten grew up, studied, and worked in New York City. He subsequently immigrated to Israel with his wife, Rachel, and their children. He is the illustrator of THE JEWISH CHILD'S FIRST BOOK OF WHY, CLASSIC BIBLE STORIES FOR JEWISH CHILDREN, and WELCOME, BABY!
