Our past does not simply disappear. The painful history of our ancestors and their rich cultural wisdom intertwine within us to create the patterns of our future. Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our children - a legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives. In this book, Tirzah Firestone brings to life the profound impact of protracted historical trauma through the compellingánarrativesáof Israeli terror victims,áHolocaust survivors,áand those whose lives were marred by racial persecutionáand displacement. The tragicástoryáof Firestone's own family lays the groundwork for these revealing testimoniesáof recovery, forgiveness, and moral leadership.áThroughout, Firestone interweaves their voices with neuroscientific and psychological findings, aswell as relevant and inspiring Jewish teachings. Seven principles emerge from these wise narratives - powerful prescriptive tools that speak to anyone dealing with the effects of past injury. At the broadest level, these principles are directives for staying morally awake in a world rife with terror. | Wounds Into Wisdom by Tirzah Firestone, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
