NEW BOOK UPDATE

Today, in the middle of the day, I went to the printer to take a look at the sample for our brand new book coming out of The Layers Press & The SHVILLI Center.


Surprise update #2. Not only do we have a Pesach supplemental available on our site, but now we have a separate new book that is going to be announced next week and available for pre-sale!


See, a few months ago, I had just finished our extensive book tour for Az Nashir; We Will Sing Again, and I swore to myself that I was finished for a while.


That it was time to rest and recalibrate.


But as it always happens, shortly after, I woke up one Shabbat morning with a fully downloaded idea in my head, and a powerful sense of urgency that there was a book that needed to come out into the world, NOW.


So much has happened since the summer, when Az Nashir was finished. I can't keep track of all that has gone down since it went to print in the fall.


So much is still, yet unfolding.


Point being, that when I was at the printer today, another siren went off in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles coming into Israel. I was with Yitz Woolf and Tzipora Lifchitz, and we huddled with the rest of the staff at the printer while the siren howled over the sound of the printers, and I was struggling to hear while I dialed my kids, making sure they were safe in the bomb shelter.


And as I stood there, and then looked over the sample they made me, I realized, of course this book needed to come out now.


Because this isn't over, and neither is the work.


Filled with extraordinary writers and artists, this one is a treasure. A love letter from our community, Anne Gordon, Rachel Sharansky Danziger, and me.


Stay tuned and be safe friends.
