-Rabbi David Wolpe, author of Making Loss Matter: Creating Meaning in Difficult Times
Who among us has not been touched by trauma? Violence? Natural disaster? Illness? Marginalization? Family dysfunction? In this challenging and thought provoking
book, rabbis reflect on the Torah of their lives, as well as the Torah of tradition, to give us insight into the ways we are all affected by trauma and the
many different paths to healing.
-Rabbi Laura Geller, coauthor of Moments That Matter: Marking Transitions in Midlife and Beyond
Trauma may shatter us. It doesn't have to end us. ... There is a way forward. I pray that this volume can be a source of strength for you.
- From the foreword by Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, PhD, Temple Emanuel, Winston-Salem, NC
