yes, my child: poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781723241192)

The poems in this collection touch on the State of Israel, Gun Violence, TV shows, the U.S., and the trees and the rain. But every poem has one common intent: envisioning a better world. "Rabbi Menachem Creditor's poems read as if he sat at his desk, slit open his heart and poured his feelings onto the page. Nothing is held back, worded "properly" or edited into blandness. For which we should say a special blessing because he is a person with huge emotions, compassion for the world and for the people around him, an amazing ability to take us with him into nature, world conflict, personal pain and the ravages of gun violence. He takes us with him, he lets us experience what he is experiencing, and in his own way he reminds us to breathe more deeply, to let our feelings out, to become fuller people." Ruth Messinger, Global Ambassador, American Jewish World Service "Rabbi Creditor is a poet of the soul whose prayer/poems will break your heart open, shining a light that runs from the core of the world through the depths of our pain to the heights of our joy." Rabbi Dr. Bradley Shavit Artson Dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies
