The disappearing 'Asian' city
I picked this book out to read for the 2020 election because I had a feeling that I was going to need the reminder and the lessons that this book taught. I live in a proud Trump supporting area and state, all of those things I am not. And I just needed to read this as a good reminder. A class I had read chapters of it to learn Jewish beliefs in action, but not the whole book. I'm very glad that I picked it up because it was an excellent read with lots of ideas that can be applied. It's a Jewish lens for the world with Jewish practices, but anyone can pick it up to learn a new perspective and get ideas about how they might enact some of them in their own lives.
