Abstract: Chapter 1 of the book "Peerless Education: The Life and Work of Isaac Leon Kandel," by J. Wesley Null is presented. Isaac Leon, the eldest of three children, was born on January 22, 1881 in Botosani, Romania to Jewish parents Abraham and Fanny Manales Kandel. Allegedly because of the difficult socio-political environment for the Jews in Romania, Abraham traveled alone to Manchester, England in 1883 to consider the possibilities of immigration for his family.
