Excerpt
"We tell our story
From our generations:
from shtetl, ghetto, medina and town
come photos, recipes, candlesticks, coins
memories, images, names, sacred books--
echoes within us, transcending guides.
....
We tell our story
from our Jewish soul:
we see it, speak it, sign it, sing it,
we dance it,draw it, drum it, dream it,
from our overflowing hearts
and into the soul of the world."

Steeped in the waters of Miriam's Well, in the light of the first day, and in the secrets of the angel Raziel, these wonderful stories and poems read as if they had stepped out of the pages of the talmud. If Rashi were around to read this astonishing book, he would surely conclude that the Ruach ha-Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) had found a perfect vessel in Cherie Karo Schwartz.
