Reviews

"Both scholarly and intensely personal, these essays depict with grace and deep perceptiveness a trend that is a disturbing reality for all who care about the continuing legacy of Hebrew culture." (Choice) "The volume's contributors look to alert their English-language readers, whoever they may be, to Hebrew's beauty and the possibilities its offers." (Studies in American Jewish Literature)
