Success, Health, Fitness & Dieting, Family Relationships, Jewish Life 

What began as a mother's letter to her college-bound children is now a beautiful volume filled with life lessons that we all want our children to take on their lifelong journeys. In three sections labeled "Know Where You Come From," "Know Where You Are Going," and "And Know Before Whom You Will One Day Stand in Judgment," Sharon Strassfeld relays a colorful mix of anecdotes and advice: * Accept who you are. Don't be at war with yourself. * Wherever you live, find a Jewish community. This is not about being insular. It is about staying close to the family. * It is not necessarily a good thing to believe that the career you choose when you are twenty-one is the same career you will be pursuing when you are forty-five. Everything I Know is rooted in the homey warmth of traditional Jewish culture. Yet through its celebration of Yiddish wit and wisdom, this book delivers on a subject that all parents hold dear. - from Amzon
