Summary: A Must Read for All, Jews and Non-Jews Alike
Review: This is one of those books that opens your heart and helps your faith in G-d to grow. Just reading the stories reaffirmed my faith in G-d, in prayer, in life. Quite frankly, I frequently found myself in tears when reading the stories--what kind of tears? I'm not sure... sort of the tears that makes one happy to know that G-d exists still. Rebbetzin Jungreis writes in a gifted manner. As a non-Jew (but Monotheist), I was amazed at the wealth of wisdom that can be found in the Torah. Raised as a Christian, it was commonplace to perhaps read through Genesis and Exodus and then skip on over to the New Testament. What a mistake. For me, this book helped me in many ways... it made me even more committed to the act of charity... it made me more committed to exploring the Jewish roots of the monotheistic faiths. I think this would make an excellent book for teachers to use in helping to make their students more aware of Judaism... to give their students a healthier respect for Judaism. I also think it would be a good book for families to read together and then discuss. I highly encourage you to buy this book. It's a treasure that has the potential to change your life and your faith.

Summary: A must-have for those on a spiritual journey
Review: This woman spent a significant part of her childhood in a concentration camp, then had to bear the hardship of being "different"--a non-English speaking European in America, a Jew among non-Jews, and a religious Jew among secular Jews--and she turned out to be such a loving, vibrant person! Parts of this book made me cry, parts made me chuckle, and parts inspired me to be more like her. She is everything the Torah intended a Jew to be. Anyone, regardless of religion or gender, will gain from reading this incredible book, but if you want to know what is the essence of a Jewish woman, and how to be a Jewish woman, the answer is in this beautiful book.
