The Quotable Jewish Woman: Wisdom, Inspiration & Humor From The Mind & Heart is a grand compendium of memorible insights, zingers, platitudes, deep thoughts and much more from Jewish women throughout history up to the modern day. Contributions from more than 300 Jewish women from a wide variety of nations and backgrounds cover topics ranging from beauty to spirituality to friendship, motherhood, politics, work, holiday celebrations and much more. Categorized by subject, with a biographical index offering a paragraph of background about each notable woman quoted, The Quotable Jewish Woman is a superb resource for looking up the perfect filler to round out one's article, spice to heat up one's discussion, or just plain leisure reading with the tang of wisdom. "The wars say it to us - all of Europe, all of Vietnam - and / Nuremburg: never wait to speak against these horrors. / To act against these horrors / Do not let them be abstract and distant. / They look at you with human eyes..." - Muriel Rukeyser.`

This book is always on my desk. I use the quotes in it for just about everything. A mental pick my up when I'm feeling down. A spiritual guide when I struggle. As part of my signature on emails and letters. I have given several now as Bat Mitzvah gifts. You will find yourself coming back to this book time and time again.
