Paul Tobia was raised in Hell’s Kitchen from the age of four, where his earliest mentors were compassionate Russian Jewish leaders who recognized his precocious wisdom and philosophical insight. Though young and inexperienced, Paul stood out as a voice of depth and conviction. As a Sephardic Christian Jew, he embraced a calling rooted in justice, faith, and advocacy for the marginalized. Taught to uplift the poor, clothe the naked, and defend the widow, Paul’s life and writing reflect a profound spiritual awakening. His experiences and beliefs shape a unique narrative voice—bold, poetic, and fiercely committed to divine truth.
