Vayikra: Love in All the Gross Places

“This is a book about love” Peggy Noonan begins her book on 9/11. It’s a captivating read: raw, unedited. Written at the time and in the aftermath of when jets crushed towers into rubble and white smoke smotered Manhattan and death choked the streets for days. Its reads battlefield, not memorial. And yes, with all the terror and bleeding and gory horror, she’s right – it is a book about love. Across the pages she sifts through her mind, her conscious, her life, her generation, our ethos. And she brings us through with a generous spirit.
