Myron was born in the Bronx, New York to Jewish parents. His grandfather and brother were Rabbis. Due to family problems his spiritual life basically consisted of attending services on the Jewish High Holy days. As an adult, after a series of job frustrations, his Catholic wife challenged him to read the Bible, which he did in six days, skimming through Numbers and Deuteronomy. This began a journey that would lead him to accept Jesus as the promised Messiah and entry into his Catholic Church.
