"The beginning of wisdom is to desire it."
SOLOMON IBN GABIROL
"Where there is no vision, the people perish."
PROVERBS
Those who desire wisdom can hardly do better than to start with this book. Through nearly four thousand years of history, the Jewish people have learned a thing or two, and have extracted from their experiences, both good and bad, a rich essence that speaks to every time and every heart. JEWISH WISDOM gathers more than a thousand proverbs, wise sayings, common-sense observations, and memorable quotations that instruct, inspire, and guide the reader to the good in life. It is a powerful antidote to self-deception, confusion, worry, and fear.

From the Publisher:
My grandma would love it if I would become fluent in Yiddish, but that's not going to happen any time soon. Instead of fielding questions regarding my marital status, now I can distract my grandma and great aunts with proverbs and anecdotes I picked up from reading Jewish Wisdom. It's definitely a must read before any holiday gathering. Not only will it serve to protect your privacy but it will also impress your grandma which is always a good thing.
