People of the Book: Thirty Scholars Reflect on Their Jewish Identity

This book felt so accessible to me as a reader, especially compared to the jaw-dropping brilliance of her other books. Penny, a master teacher, shares her earliest experiences teaching through the ones that cement her as an authority. I loved how vulnerable and humble her voice seemed in the book, even when ending a funny essay with a good takeaway lesson. Loved it!
