There is a great amount of charm in “Mr. Reiss Goes Into Politics,” written by Marion Reiss as a tribute to her late husband Harry, z”l. The author wrote the book with the intention that her children, Wendy Schindler, a Teaneck resident; Linda Wolicki, a resident of Israel; and Rabbi Yona Reiss of Chicago, and grandchildren remember their father and grandfather’s amazing life journey. This journey took him from being an ordinary citizen, teaching as an adjunct professor of political science at Rockland Community College, into the throes of local community politics from a grassroots perspective. His reputation as a soft-spoken, kind and honest man followed him wherever he went.
