“The books, and our daughter's enthusiasm about them, have done a great deal to help my non-Jewish husband recognize how much Jewish culture encompasses. It's not only about religion, and I was not able to convey that to him previously. The books really helped, both because they were neutral (coming from outside of the family), and because they embody values- art, compassion, listening, caring, perseverance- that all members of the family embrace.”—PJ Parent from Western MA
