DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Launch! A Reading, Discussion, & Book-signing by Bay area 
 activist/author Penny Rosenwasser\n\nAnchored in Jewish ethical tradition, 
 community-building, and an activist's call to repair the world and end 
 racism, Hope into Practice asks Jewish women for the courage to love 
 ourselves enough to face our fears without acting on them-to free ourselves 
 of internalized anti-Semitism, expanding our sense of possibility, 
 empowering our activism. This book brings to life an irresistible blend of 
 healing stories, fascinating history, and a fair-minded perspective on 
 Israel-Palestine, inviting us to use privilege to shift power and midwife 
 justice. Includes action-oriented Reader's Guide, for groups or 
 individuals. \n\nPRAISE\n"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."\n-Karen Brodkin, 
 author, How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says About Race in 
 America, & Professor of Anthropology, UCLA\n\n"Hope into Practice...is a 
 book for everyone, even recovering Catholics ...Hope floats throughout this 
 book and the question, 'What could Jewishness be without suffering or 
 victimhood?' is asked in joy not shame. It is a question for all faith 
 traditions."\n-Kate Clinton, The Progressive Magazine\n\n"The Jewish women 
 you'll meet in this book will inspire you, make you laugh, and challenge 
 you to be more fierce. This is a book about liberation from our narrow 
 places and the power to change the world. No matter who you are, you'll 
 learn something new about being human."\n-Noah T. Winer, Co-founder, 
 MoveOn.org; & Board member, Jewish Voice for Peace\n
