Rebecca's Journey Home

Brynn Olenberg Sugarman
Jewish Concepts
Few things are more important in Jewish culture and tradition than family, and raising children is at the core of Jewish family life. The Jewish people are woven from many varied and colorful threads, and the Jewish roots of adoption are long-standing and honored. The Bible refers to many families in which children were raised by someone other than their birth parents. Moses had Pharoah's daughter as his loving adoptive mother, for example, and Esther was raised by her uncle Mordechai. No matter how children join a family, the parents who love and nurture them-teaching and modeling values, imparting wisdom, and taking joy in their growth and accomplishments-are the lucky ones. Whether this book reflects your family's experience or not, the essence of Rebecca's story holds true for all of us.
