Reviews

"A superb contribution to the field of pregnancy, especially geared to the Jewish reader. I recommend it highly for its completeness. The material on pre-natal diagnosis is potentially very important to Ashkenazi Jews. I also recommend this book because of the very well-chosen prayers."
-Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer, author (with Jonathan Marks) of Heavenly Sex: Sex in the Jewish Tradition

"Informed by good science, Jewish insight and the wisdom of the body as expressed through yoga ... a rich collection of information, inspiration and support for expectant parents."
-Anita Diamant, author of The New Jewish Baby Book: Names, Ceremonies & Customs-A Guide for Today's Families and The New Jewish Wedding
