"Steeped
in the waters of Miriam's Well, in the light of the first day, and in
the secrets of angel Ariel, there wonderful stories and poems read as if
they had stepped out the pages of the Talmud.
If Rashi were around
to read this astonishing book, he would surely
conclude that the |
|
|
|
|
Ruach haKodesh [the
Holy Spirit] |
|
had found a perfect vessel in Cherie Karo Schwartz." |

"CIRCLES
SPINNING is an invitation to the art and
dance of Jewish storytelling. Through her tales and poem, Cherie
brings alive her passion for story and judaism in a way that invites the
reader into the circle to spin a new round of tales from the texts of
our own lives"

"The words of the midrashic stories and
poems in CIRCLE SPINNING have
wings and dance off the pages like sparks of fire vibrantly igniting our
imagination. In turn, they guide us to see the world differently
with new visions and new meanings. Through Cherie Karo Schwartz's
creative work, she open up worlds that are filled with wonder!
This is a jewel of a collections that must be delved in our time and
cherished by anyone interested in storytelling and judaism." |

"This is a beautiful gem, in which stories
from our ancient sources, from Bible and Midrash, and stories of the
jewish folk, are told and retold through the voice of a poet, the voice
of a gifted and sensitive storyteller." |

"Lisa Rauchwerger's papercut prints bring
a sweet good humor into the midrashic process, and by intertwining
graphics with worlds give a milt-dimensional sense of what midrash is
about."
