41 short stories from a new generation of Jewish writers
"Good writing is delicious. Ruchama Feuerman has served up a
succulent selection of stories, each with its own flavor, some sweet,
some tangy, each one satisfying!"
--Sara Yoheved Rigler, author of Holy Woman and Lights from Jerusalem
Fresh Voices. Fresh writing. Get ready for a magic carpet ride through
our world at street level. In these compelling, well-crafted stories,
you’ll recognize yourself, or an aspect of yourself, or someone so
different that you can only read on, open-mouthed:
- The seminary girl whose utter devotion to prayer
leads her to the unimaginable
- The Holocaust survivor who bears a thirty-year grudge against the Rebbe
- A woman’s childhood recollections about her mother’s quirky obsession with chessed
- And a host of other true characters from the family album of
Jews: the Chevra Kadisha volunteer, the vintner, the scribe, the mohel,
the matchmaker and … the film director?!
But wait … there’s more! At the start of each section of the book, Mrs.
Feuerman shares her best tips for unlocking the writer inside you. So
this book offers more than just great reading – it also includes the
keys to great writing!
