Foreword by Harold Kushner
As a great number of Jewish baby boomers are hitting middle age, the need for a book that addresses aging from a Jewish perspective becomes increasingly apparent. Berrin (editor, Celebrating the New Moon: A Rosh Chodesh Anthology, Aronson, 1996) offers a study that is not dry or statistical but rather a collection of thoughtful?often provocative?essays on the many facets of aging. These essays help gird the reader?Jew and interested non-Jew alike?for the many challenges involved. The book is divided into seven sections covering such topics as intergenerational relationships, women and aging, ceremonies involved in aging, and what the Jewish texts have to say about it. The essayists include rabbis, social workers, journalists, lecturers, and everyday Jews. Recommended for libraries serving a Jewish clientele
