el dang reviewed Rimonim by Aurora Levins Morales
This is the book I've been looking for
5 stars
In a year in which it's been extremely difficult to value or engage with my own culture, this book has been one of the few things I've felt able to connect to. It's one person's approach to drawing out all that is beautiful, nurturing, and life-affirming in Judaism, and explicitly rejecting all the ways our tradition gets used to defend evil. I needed it so very much, and ended up sending copies to a couple of dear friends.
