Great resource for Jewish learning

I turn to this book over and over to find pieces of Jewish text relevant to topics that I am teaching about in a Jewish setting. It's conveniently organized by topic, and includes many texts that are short enough to cover in a relatively short amount of time.

An Excellent Resource

This book is inspiring and serves as a wonderful source of examples and quotes for speeches.

A wonderful spiritual guide

I opened Voices of Wisdom at a difficult time in my life. It was shortly after my father-in-law had died and a dear friend had been diagnosed with incurable cancer. The section on death was a wonderful discussion based on the Talmud and commentaries that gave me strength and inspiration to help my friend. I was able to share the stories with non-Jewish friends, and also with friends who are serious students of the Talmud. I highly recommend this book.

Very enjoyable and readable introduction to Jewish ethics.

When someone asks me about books to read to learn about Judaism, this one always comes near the top of my list. Not only does it provide a very good taste of Jewish ethics, it makes that taste tantalizing, leaving most people wanting to learn more. In fact, the only negative part about "Voices of Wisdom" is its length - you want Klagsbrun to keep talking a lot longer than she does.
