L'œuvre de la rabbine Danya Ruttenberg explore les questions spirituelles profondes qui émergent des expériences quotidiennes, en particulier celles de la parentalité. Avec une honnêteté et une perspicacité rares, elle examine comment trouver les moments sacrés et inattendus d'émerveillement et de sens au sein du processus chaotique et exigeant de l'éducation des enfants. Son écriture entrelace la réflexion personnelle avec des thèmes religieux et philosophiques plus larges, offrant aux lecteurs une nouvelle perspective sur la navigation dans la vie spirituelle dans le monde contemporain.
