Hope Into Practice: Jewish Women Choosing Justice Despite Our Fears
"Hope into Practice: Jewish Women Choosing Justice Despite Our Fears...is a book for everyone, even recovering Catholics ...Hope floats throughout this book and the question, "What could Jewishness be without suffering or victimhood?" is asked in joy not shame. It is a question for all faith traditions." --Kate Clinton, The Progressive Magazine (December 2013 issue)"The beauty of this book lies in its insistence that our healing is never separate from our politics. How we treat others is inherently linked to how we treat ourselves, and when we harm others, we cause harm to ourselves." Wendy Elisheva Somerson, Tikkun.org, tikkun.org/nextgen/the-politics-of-jewish-healing" I felt that she was writing to me and my cohort of young adult, Jewish female community organizers and activists trying to live a principled life in a world rife with contradictions ...[The book's] pages are saturated with Rosenwasser's brilliant thinking and unwavering love for the Jewish people...I was brought to tears more than once...Hope into Practice is an absolutely inspiring call to action. Because, if not together, how?" -- Liz Manlin, JewishCurrents.org
