"Rabbi Mark Asher Goodman & Sally Wiener Grotta discuss their parallel journeys exploring their Jewish heritage that led to their two books. Though they came at it from very different places and with somewhat different purposes, they had similar experiences regarding what they found along the way. In “Life Lessons from Recently Dead Rabbis: Hassidut for the People,” Rabbi Mark has translated texts from the Hasidic tradition, and used them as a starting point for introspection. His book has been praised for offering spiritual and moral guidance, for the next generation – "an independent and bold generation that is more diverse, more feminist, more queer, more individualistic, and perhaps more reflective than ever before." (www.RabbiMarkAsherGoodman.com) Sally's book "Daughters of Eve" seeks to illuminate our lives through the lens of empowering feminist biblical narratives. It's organized into 12 modules for discussion groups or individual journaling. Each module consists of a personal essay and related questions that explore our modern concerns, hopes & crises through the lens of the stories of the women of the Hebrew Bible.
