Our Lives: An Anthology Of Jewish Woman's Writings

We are single and married women, mothers and grandmothers; daughters and sisters. We are homemakers, we have successful careers. We find our inspiration in Torah texts, in our students, in our childrens eyes. We are so very different from each other and yet share many of each othes concerns and values. We live lives that are hectic, absorbing sometimes 0~erwhelming lives that are often rewarding occasionally muddled and challenging, always. We live our lives fully and we each have a story to tell. Our Lives presents the writings of over forty women. Many are professional writers whose works have delighted~ entertained, and instructed us over the years. Others are new to publishing, women who have found fulfillment in different spheres1 but who have somehow found the time to take up a pen or turn on a word processor. Here in these pages the reader will find gentle humor and high drama, essays on modern living and memories of days gone by. From a lighthearted look at bungalow colonies, to a thought-prov0~~�g essay on life as a single woman, to a wrenching account of a child�s death�here, in fiction and essays, in poetry and prose, we can find Our Lives.
