Yom Kippur as Manifest in an Approaching Dorsal Fin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781629270012)

Yom Kippur as Manifest in an Approaching Dorsal Fin explores-in essays, poems, and creative nonfiction-the tension between cultural heritage and contemporary society, between religion and spirituality, between the family you inherit and the family you create. From early-morning wrestlings with God to portraits of three remarkably different family funerals, from Kabbalist chants at a pagan bookstore to the humorous "What Do Jews Do on Christmas?," Tritt's writing taps into themes nearly universal in today's world in ways that will resonate with readers of all backgrounds and faiths-or no faith at all.
