“The idea of this book was born out of trying to teach my daughters to stay positive and find joy in everything while familiarizing them with their Jewish heritage. I looked, but I didn’t expect the Jewish culture to offer a lot on the subject of happiness, especially to people who are not religious”, says the author. “But I was amazed by what I found and how it changed my views on happiness and the Jewish identity.”
