“His candid, searching book … breaks our heart.” —The New York Times Book Review
Ari Goldman describes how his year in mourning for his father affected him as a son, husband, father, and member ofhis community. Through the daily recitation of kaddish, Goldman discovered that hecould connect with and honor his father and his mother in a way that he could notalways do during their lifetimes. And in his daily synagogue attendance, he foundhis fellow worshipers to be an unexpected source of strength, wisdom, and comfort.
