On Paths We Do Not Choose

Sacred Steps on the Unexpected Journey Through Domestic and Sexual Violence

A Jewish spiritual companion for experiences that do not move in a straight line.

Know More

A companion, not a roadmap.

On Paths We Do Not Choose is organized as three overlapping journeys: through Jewish text, through liturgy and through reflection. Readers can move among them rather than beginning at page one and progressing toward a promised ending.

The book offers Jewish language for fear, memory, silence, anger, shame, uncertainty, voice and the complicated work of continuing to live after violence.

Three overlapping journeys

Who it's for, and how it's organized

Through Jewish Text

Sources and traditional language, read again in light of these experiences.

Through Liturgy

Prayer and blessing as a way of naming what is otherwise hard to say.

Through Reflection

Original writing that sits beside the reader rather than instructing them.
