Reviews"This powerful work . . . is a celebration of what it truly means to be eishet chayil , a woman of valor: for to speak in one's authentic voice is valor in action." --Marra B. Gad, writer, producer, and award-winning author of The Color of Love: A Story of a Mixed-Race Jewish Girl, " Salt & Honey teems with the smells and images, pains and joys, memories and longings that prove that our Jewish identity is already held in spectacular trust by these voices of our future." --Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor, Slate, Jewish teens share their experiences, loves, hopes, and fears in thisanthology of essays, poems, and artwork from the online publication jGirlsMagazine . Split into six chapters, the works trace the young people's experiencesthrough triumphs and tragedies. "We Always Seem To Return" brings meditationson memory and inheritance, highlighting how Jewish joy and sorrow often walkhand in hand. "When We Were Small" tells stories of childhood and growing up,interrogating such themes as gender identity, substance abuse, andantisemitism. "A Healthy Collection of Blessings and Hardships" tells of thebody and the mind, exploring the sacred nature of the self while making spacefor struggles in mental health. "Traditions, Interpretations, andImperfections" dives into spirituality and tradition, celebrating the richvariety of the Jewish community. "Where Is the Peace?" confronts ignorance,including experiences of racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and sexist violence.Finally, in "Carving Our Own Footsteps," the artists of a new generation setout to continue the battle for justice and freedom. The offerings in this bookare emphatically and unapologetically Jewish, but the stories they tell willresonate broadly. Contributors include Jews who are Black and Asian, Sephardicand Ashkenazi, and who reflect diversity in gender identity, sexuality, andability. The young artists and writers featured here bring an appetite for lifeas well as the teeth necessary to enjoy the meal. Raw, vibrant, and full of love.

SynopsisIn 78 vibrant works by 62 gifted contributors, Jewish girls, young women, and nonbinary teens voice their celebrations and challenges, their anger and their eagerness in essays, poetry, and visual art. And their themes are universal, touching on childhood, spirituality, sexuality, race, family, friends, and the world around us. We are writers, editors, photographers, and artists. We are multiethnic, multiracial, and multifaceted. We are nourished by the sweet honey and harsh salt of our lives. Although we are often misunderstood, we find strength within ourselves and our communities. This book elevates our stories as we honor the past, explore the present, and look toward the future. Through poetry, fiction, essays, and art, we make our voices heard.
