Even God Had Bad Parenting Days


Early parenthood pushes many of us to our limits, physically and emotionally. It’s also a magical blessing, a front-row seat to the great mysteries of human existence, of Creation, and of the Divine, whatever we understand that to mean. This is a book about where those two truths intersect. Based on Rabins’ popular series of articles on parenting for Kveller, this collection of short personal essays about how Jewish traditions can support us through early parenthood is “an exquisite volume of spiritual nourishment” (Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg).
