JEWISH FAMILY LIFE

 

The tapestry of our lives is interwoven with everyday family

interaction. The reaction of each family to holidays, family gatherings

and illness is particular unto itself. However, in all cultures, the clashing of the old

and new is universal. The following books focus on Jewish families and their unique issues.
