The material in the book is extrapolated from her writings, lectures and study sheets. --Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week When the book first arrived on my desk I wondered about its length. How could a book of so few pages get to the heart of a teaching method decades in the making? The book is, however, much like the teacher who inspired it: short, powerful and to the point. --Erica Brown, Jerusalem Post Literary Quarterly The book is ... much like the teacher who inspired it: short, powerful, and to the point. -- Jerusalem Post Literary Quarterly
