Why is stepping back in time important? Because Jews have a shared history. This shared history is part of what makes us Jewish. The challenges and choices of your grandparents' and great-grandparents' generation, trying to find their way in the world, is an important part of the American Jewish experience. Experience it with them. You are the main character in every chapter in this book, and how the stories end will depend on the decisions you make along the way.
Rabbi Shoshana Hantman grew up in the West Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, and was educated at Gratz College and the University of Pennsylvania. She received her ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, and a master’s degree in education from Temple University. Shoshana has served as both a congregational rabbi and a synagogue education director; in 1992, she founded, and still directs, the independent Halutsim Hebrew School, where the students read plays in class nearly every week. Shoshana lives in northern Westchester County, New York, with her husband Richard Weill and their two children. Choose Your Path is her second book.
