The Gift of Children

description of book Embracing motherhood through the lens of Jewish wisdom. What do you do when the size of your family is challenged by the world around you? What happens when your dream of raising a large family begins to overwhelm you with the realities of day-to-day life? In a candid conversation with a sprinkle of humor, Chaya Raskin brings you into her lively home, where she ponders these questions between breakfast and dinner, through school projects, and the birth of another child.

You will have gained a new perspective and food for thought to accompany you on your journey to embracing motherhood and the wonderful gift of children.
