Yiddish Yoga™; Ruthie’s Adventures in Love, Loss and the Lotus Position (Newmarket Press, August 2009) is a poignant and funny tale written in the voice of Ruthie, a recently widowed New York City Jewish grandmother, who accepts her granddaughter’s gift of a year’s worth of yoga lessons with surprising results.
This small-format gift hardcover features Art Glazer original illustrations and glossaries of Yiddish and yoga terms.
For this you got a Ph.D.? To stand on your head?
What reviewers have to say about Yiddish Yoga:
"I love Yiddish Yoga! It could be the new Haiku for Jews or Zen Judaism."—Susan Weis, Breathe Books, Baltimore
"Yiddish Yoga is ultimately a short story about transformation, a warm and likable tale....It is about putting the 'om' in shalom."—The Jewish Journal, Boston
