Praise for Living a Year of Kaddish

"A profound and sophisticated examination of human relationships."
--Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"It touches the heart with its exploration of the complicated emotions that accompany the loss of a parent." --The Jerusalem Report

"A book full of sadness, sweetness, and discernment. Being with Goldman as he lives this loss is a poignant and moving experience."
--Mary Gordon, author of Pearl

"This jewel of a memoir explores the paradox of mourning for an observant Jew. It is a time of piercing aloneness and yet of fortifying community, the community of fellow worshippers saying kaddish. With tenderness and honesty, Goldman brings the reader, too, inside that circle of loss and resilience." --Samuel Freedman, author of Who She Was: My Search for My Mother's Life
