“Marge Piercy accompanies the reader on a journey that is illuminating, exciting, and healing all at once. Finally, a book for people who are wrestling with how to bring their sedarim to life and at the same time hold onto the wisdom that resides in the tradition. Piercy frees us up to be creative and alive. The book is a blessing.”
–Rabbi Alan Ullman
“Piercy opens a door into the tradition for those who have been unable to open that door for themselves. Food is the most elemental of traditions, and seeing her prepare and share her meal is like being invited to her seder and sitting around the table with our mothers and grandmothers, hearing the whispers that go on in the kitchen when no one else is paying attention.”
–Rabbi Alana Suskin
Praise for The Art of Blessing the Day
“Accessible, transformative, thrilling. Marge Piercy teases out the spiritual lights hidden within the most ordinary events.”
–Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, author of Kabbalah: A Love Story
“Piercy’s superb spiritual powers are up to their elbows in the lived world, bringing a liberated and grounded wisdom to everything they touch. Behind this book one hears the great embracing toast of Jewish tradition: ‘L’Chaim’–‘to life!’”
–Jane Hirschfield, author of After
