{"product_id":"pasp","title":"A GIFT PASSED ALONG (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Shapiro\u003c\/b\u003e is a welcome new addition \nto Shaar PressÆ list of authors. There are many words to describe her writing: \nliterature of the highest order, refreshing, intriguing, insightful, moving, \nfunny, touching. We could go on ù but the only way to truly appreciate her is to \nread her.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Gift Passed Along\u003c\/b\u003e sings with joy of being a Torah Jew in Eretz Yisrael, \neven in this time of terror and tension. Sarah Shapiro walks the streets of \nJerusalem and sees the same surface sights the rest of us do, but she sees \nmeaning beneath the mundane details of everyday life. Subtly and skillfully, \nthis collection of essays explores issues most people avoid, and as we read we \nbegin to think with new understanding and perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\nWeÆll nod our heads with a gentle smile when we hear an aging woman say, ôI \nrespect age. I would not trade what I have learned for a face without wrinkles. \nAge is a crown.ö WeÆll see ôannoyancesö in a new light when we hear Rabbi \nScheinbergÆs laughter. WeÆll take pride in the Jewish values of people who bring \nfood and drink to the soldiers who have been dragging them roughly off a hill \nnear Efrat.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe author came to Torah Judaism and Jerusalem through years of searching and \nthinking. Some of her essays lead us down the path with her, and in the process \ngive us deeper insights into our own spiritual aspirations.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are fifty selections in this book, some short, some long, all precious. A \nreviewer of her last collection wrote, ôyour life may actually change after \nreading this book.ö ItÆs true. And the change will be for the better.\u003cbr\u003e\nThank you, Sarah Shapiro, for this \u003cb\u003eGift Passed Along\u003c\/b\u003e. This marvelous book \nis filled with many gifts, and we thank you for them all.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ArtScroll Mesorah Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42509533773901,"sku":"PASP","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/0872\/7373\/files\/pash_a762d95e-1ee3-4a51-9d31-78dfe61cd55f.jpg?v=1767491591","url":"https:\/\/hatallit.com\/products\/pasp","provider":"HaTallit | Online Judaica Marketplace – Tallits, Sefarim \u0026 Beautiful Judaica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
