> ****Sharing stories from Jewish women and gender-queer folks, Penny's interactive talk touches on book themes ranging from Jewish multiculturalism to Israel-Palestine -- from healing internalized victimization to resistance to persecution -- from racial justice to alliance-building. She invites us to use privilege to shift power, to have the courage to face our fears, but not act on them; it's an activist's call to heal the world!

> A wonderful, gutsy, and inspiring book. Penny Rosenwasser takes on the most explosive issues in American Jewish life today--racism and anti-Semitism, victimization and privilege, and Jewish politics around Israel and Palestine-and she does it with a generosity of spirit and a clear head. A vision of a progressive Jewishness for a multicultural 21st century comes through proud and clear."--Karen Brodkin, author, How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says About Race in America

> The Jewish women you'll meet in this book will inspire you, make you laugh, and challenge you to be more fierce.

Winer, Co-founder, MoveOn.org [1];
