This is a most unusual book. The writer Hadassah Brendler, records her personal story. The writing is conversational in nature. The reader often has the feeling of sitting across a coffee table listening to a most sincere woman relating the events of her adult life. Ms. Brendler records with encyclopedic memory the events, major and minor, in her life and the unusual conclusions she has made. Her honesty and sincerity is without question. Some of her conclusions made years ago with regard to smoking and pollution are commonly accepted today. They were not when Ms. Brendler espoused these concepts. She was well aware that she was considered an off-beat zealot. Hadassah Brendler gently reminds us to take her seriously for she has been proven right so many times. Her views on air contamination, pollution and allergens were ahead of time. Ms. Brendler records events minor and major with considerable detail. She records incidents that vary from stories of two small dogs to her relationship with her mother. She writes with honesty and a touching candor. Her belief in the magic of the number 33 is appealing and unquestionably sincere. Her views should not be dismissed because of common perceptions. Ms. Brendler has been proved right before.

I am the husband of the author and I am incensed at the review this person sent in. I realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however, bright as they may be, this book was not meant to be a spiritual book, but to entertain and it certainly does that. I lived all of my wife's experiences and they were thrilling. An ordinary person just does not meet people as she did and have them take to her. Willie Nelson was so entranced with her story, he invited my wife and son to come to his farm in Texas. Jackie Mason spent quite a bit of time with both myself, my wife and my son Larry. he used to call us "the folks". Thousands of people have read this book and a number of them have told us how much they enjoyed it. One woman even bought 33 books to give away to various people. One of them found its way (a story unto itself) to a woman in Florida whose husband was in the hospital. This woman wrote to my wife and told her how her story gave her peace. Another in Texas wrote to my wife and told her that she bought the book from Amazon and it changed her life. It seems to me that anyone looking for a book to read would be interested in this one as it has everything and it is all true.

"The 33 Connection", written by Hadassah Hannah Brendler is an admirable testament of one woman's faith and her devout willingness to bring God's message to the world. In an almost comic sense; she rushes through streets, neighborhoods, and towns as she is driven to tell her story so that others may find their own truth in God. Not only does she seek out the average everyday person but moves on to celebrities and artists and eventually ends up at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, DC; where she brings her story of God and Universal Love regarding the number 33.

Being an Astrologer/Numerologist I especially love the book because it brings to light the fact that God is indeed everywhere, and not just found in traditional Biblical or Theological points of view.

Hadassah, who had no prior knowledge of the number 33 and its connection to the ancient art of divination, almost proves that numerology is indeed correct. The number 33 in numerology has been known for years to be connected to Jesus, The Christ. Although the book is not about numerology in a formal sense, it has added another twist regarding the same knowledge that has been known for centuries.

The Author has acknowledged that she had no interest or understanding of new age concepts or metaphysical teachings. Yet, she somehow has channeled the truth regarding this number and I find it incredibly interesting to see it come from a completely different, almost naive point of view.

The 33 Connection is very informative and packed with Biblical information regarding numbers and scriptures. If one looks closely they will see a certain connection between formal language and the language of Numbers. Hadassah has learned from a higher source that numbers do indeed connect us with the other world.

Without a doubt, the most outstanding attribute about her story is her unwavering faith in God and how she maintains her position even during times of possible trouble or apprehension. I wonder if many others would have the same courage or strength that Hadassah portrays as she brings her message to areas where many may be afraid to go and, as I mentioned, finally to the Vatican Embassy.

I highly recommend this book especially to Christians or anyone else who has the erroneous belief that God is up in the clouds. God is indeed a part of us all and traditional means of finding "God" are not necessarily in synagogue or church where many go to find "Him". The book is extraordinary, entertaining, and very well written. I think that the 33 Connection should be read by all. Whether Jewish, Christian, Islamic or Metaphysician there is something in this book for everyone. As Hadassah clearly teaches us, God is everywhere.

This is a phenomenal book. Apparently, it is the story of one woman, Hadassah Brendler, and her incredible experiences. But the book isn't really about Hadassah. It is about a journey of faith, couched in some pretty unusual terms. It is about the presence of God in this world-God calling, God revealing-God embodied in the affairs of one woman's life. And in all of our lives. Hadassah Brendler was nobody special until the number 33 began appearing in her life-on license plates, street addresses and clock faces. She came to believe that the number 33 signaled God's presence. As Hadassah follows God's lead, she is led into many lives, especially strangers on the street to whom she tells her story and famous figures, such as Jackie Mason, Willie Nelson and Michael Jordan. Always, she tells her story-she writes it down and passes it out, sends letters to members of Congress and appears on radio and TV talk shows. Always, she is a faithful witness to her unfolding experience. Hadassah is in many ways an unlikely messenger to bring a spiritual word to us. She is not highly educated, not theological, not even a writer. Just committed to writing her story so the world would know it. She is a Jewish mother of 3 boys. And what she does is what people of faith have always done-let themselves be vehicles of God. Hadassah pays attention, makes connections and is always led by number 33 in the political and social affairs of our time. She just keeps following God's trail-to the Vatican Embassy at 3339 Mass. Avenue in Washington, D.C., the Israeli Ball in Washington, D.C. and to Gulfstream Race Track in Hallandale, Florida where she tells her story. She is nothing if not a relentless hound for the scent of God. Her book brings a word to contemporary life: we have lost our equilibrium, and God is calling us to restore the balance-in our inner lives, in our public life. All she asks is that we listen to her story.

...'cause it sure isn't like anything I have ever read! I purchased it as a spiritual gift for a friend, read it and will give it to her as a joke. There is no connection with the author's severe environmental allergies, her Contract Bridge playing, her foot massages and her connecting everything, except real life with the number 33. I cringed as she "told her story",(which, by the way, I never found!) to every celebrity whose path she crossed! Please. If there is a spiritual message here, I am eager to be corrected. As it stands, THE 33 CONNECTION, is not worth 33 seconds of your time, or 33 cents. Boy! Does she have "other" connections to have gotten an editor to publish this confusing mish-mash. If I could have, I would have given it zero stars...I am not usually this mean-spirited, but reading the other reviews led me to pay hard -earned money for a gift that won't be given in the spirit with which it was purchased.
