Book excerpt: Anchored in Jewish ethical tradition and community-building, Hope Into Practice is an activist's call to repair the world. Linking recovery from internalized anti-Semitism (and sexism) with more empowered/effective activism for social justice, this book brings to life an irresistible blend of women's healing stories, history, and a fair-minded perspective on Israel-Palestine - as well as in-depth discussions of anti-Semitism, Jewish trauma, racism, white privilege, assimilation, and liberation --inviting us to have the courage to face our fears but not act on them: to choose justice, despite our fears. To date, Hope into Practice has received 5 awards, including the Association for Women in Psychology Jewish Caucus Award.
