Why exactly do you need to bring the babysitter home? How do you plan a bat mitzvah in the middle of a corona year? How do you survive lockdown with five children? How many types of grandmothers are there and is the essential really essential?
Did you think that being a woman, independent, in the middle of the crisis of the age of forty and a mother of five is challenging? So take all that and add a global pandemic.
In a new collection from Toria, Ravital Witelzon-Jacobs returns to the last few years and the dramas that have passed through all of us, and returns from them with insights that make you laugh and touch the heart at the same time, small joys of everyday life and moments of sacred midday rest. This collection marks a decade of writing a weekly column in Makor Rishon, and it points to one, great and essential insight: blessed is age.
Ravital Whitlon-Jacobs is a stand-up comedian and writer, who blesses the house, the man, the children and the washing machine every evening. The two collections of the previous columns, Say what you want and Why exactly I sold thousands of copies and in 2023 Mepri Ata, her first novel: Twice, joined the bestseller list.
