Octavo in dust jacket, xxxiv, 266 pp., b/w and color illustrations, notes, index "Sexual abuse occurs in all cultures, but Lev explains the particular difficulties for the Jewish community in acknowledging the problem, given its long history of victimization and its need for positive self-images. The author, however, reveals Judaism to be rich in resources for healing as she explores Jewish law, tradition, and rituals that include the thoughts of rabbis, community leaders and survivors. The book concludes with appendices of information for survivors seeking help and for family, friends, profesionals, and religious communities who wish to reach out to them." from flap copy.
