Since October 7, it has been painful for many people of faith to approach God, to find the words to respond to our changing, impossible reality. A new book – AZ NASHIR brings all the pathos and the hope, providing words for those who can’t find their own. Compiled and edited by Shira Lankin Sheps, Rachel Sharansky Danziger, and Anne (!), this moving anthology brings together the poetic, prayerful words of prayer of more than 50 contributors and 15 artists, with prayers for nearly every circumstance of the past year. By women, for women, in their many varied voices.

When Avi was called up on October 7 (for 5 of the next 8 months), his wife, Bazy, became a “Milu-Ima” (a reservist is called a miliumnik). Home with 4 beloved children and an uncountable number of diapers to change, Bazy was one of 70 women in comparable situations in her neighborhood alone. She set out to do something for her neighbors… and her country. Along the way, she became an international online sensation, sharing the comedy and poignancy of real lives “back home” when so many men are at war.
