About The Forever Letter: Writing What We Believe For

Product Description A forever letter is a gift that will be read over and over again. Inspired by the centuries-old Jewish tradition of the ethical will, a forever letter is a perfect way to share your most precious possessions: your values, wisdom, and love with the people who matter to you most. And you don't have to do it alone. Through empowering stories, sample letters, and writing tips, author Elana Zaiman serves as your companion on this journey of self-discovery and deepening relationships. Praise: "The Forever Letter offers tools, guidelines, and examples for grandparents and parents to share their love, respect, and values with the next generation." ― Jack Canfield, Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul "I love this little book because it's about writing real letters, a lost art in our time. Even more important, it's about writing letters that matter to people who matter to us."―Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak and A Hidden Wholeness "Elana Zaiman has a mission: She loves connection, deep and personal, and wants others to experience the sweet joy she has lived of shared truth-telling. Her forever letter embodies the passing on of wisdom, humbling experience, dreams, and love from one person to another. It is a beautiful concept that all of us should embrace." ― Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD, co-founder of the Gottman Institute and author of Ten Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy Review "Zaiman is a wonderful storyteller, which is evident in this book peppered with personal stories about meaningful letters she has received, stories from people in her workshops, and stories about letter-writing from literature and philosophy." ― Psychology Today "This straightforward, engaging book offers practical tips for writing not just a letter, but a parable that conveys the essence of what has given your life meaning." ― Spirituality and Health "Zaiman writes The Forever Letter with compassion, understands the gravity of her subject and leavens it with humor, stories that she tells well and practical advice." ― The New York Jewish Week "This lovely book is a thoughtful aid to those who might wish to leave a written legacy for loved ones and provides helpful advice for how to do just that." ― Foreward Reviews "The Forever Letter offers tools, guidelines, and examples for grandparents and parents to share their love, respect, and values with the next generation." ―Jack Canfield, Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul "The Forever Letter will convince any writing-shy scribbler that putting words onto paper (or typing them into a computer) is the most effective way to communicate what is in our hearts to the dearest people in our lives." ― Books and Blintzes "I love this little book because it's about writing real letters, a lost art in our time. Even more important, it's about writing letters that matter to people who matter to us." ― Parker J. Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak and A Hidden Wholeness "Elana Zaiman has a mission: She loves connection, deep and personal, and wants others to experience the sweet joy she has lived of shared truth-telling." ― Julie Schwartz Gottman, Ph.D., co-founder of the Gottman Institute and author of Ten Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy "If prayer seems a little too much like religion, but you need a place to express your hopes and desires, how about writing a Forever Letter?― Publisher's Weekly About the Author Elana Zaiman (Seattle, WA) is the first woman rabbi from a family spanning six generations of rabbis.
