Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-24 00:00:00 Gregory Lafountain I was not excited about this book but it was much more helpful than I expected. If our child is a girl, I want to have a naming ceremony, but worried all the ceremonies would feel fake and new and made up. This book helped me understand why I felt that way, and start to think about what would feel like an authentic way to welcome a Jewish baby girl. Highly recommend!

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-27 00:00:00 Linda Knabel This one is absolutely fantastic. Not only is this THE best Jewish pastoral care book I've ever read, I believe that it has raised the bar for pastoral care overall. This was an assigned textbook for a graduate-level class, but contains ideas and teachings that anyone (Jewish or not) working in caregiving professions, or personally facing family health and quality of life decisions would benefit from. Easy to read, and deep. Highly recommended, and I plan to use it in teaching for many years to come.
