From Library Journal
Bell has selected over 50 articles on topics common and uncommon, social and spiritual from the popular "Parenting" column she edits for Hadassah magazine. Ranging widely, she discusses such diverse issues as deciding on having a bris for your newborn son, celebrating the birth of a daughter, celebrating bar and bat mitzvas, choosing a college, grandparenting, caring for aging parents, dealing with a parent's death, teaching Judaism in the home, creating an appropriate Sabbath environment, facing the "December dilemma," and teaching children Jewish civil responsibility. While all the articles are sound, thought-provoking, and ultimately practical, some are especially memorable: Blue Greenberg's "The Joys of a Large Family," Jack Reimer's "Ethical Wills," and Daniel Symes's "Preventing Teenage Suicide." What a strong and joyous celebration of the Jewish family--Orthodox, Reform, or Conservative--in America today! Highly recommended.
