In this powerful book, Carol Ochs shows us how to develop a personal theology by examining our life stories, learning to recognize God at work in them, and bringing them into conversation with Torah. Using timeless biblical texts as lenses to see the present, she helps us understand who we are and who God is for us by exploring the tightly interwoven basic elements of our lives--our love, suffering, work, bodies, prayer, community, and experiences of death.

Through the process of seeing our experiences in relation to Biblical stories, we begin to recognize our lives as part of the ongoing story of the Jewish people--as Torah. This insight allows us to see these experiences as meaningful, not accidental, and opens us to recognizing God's power in and through all that happens to us. Rather than a collection of random events, our lives are part of the Jewish people's ongoing adventure. Armed with our personally shaped theology, we can face this adventure of living in the vanguard of history with awareness and confidence.

Smooth and Creamy but…
It’s smooth and light. No oily or sticky residue left on skin. This has absolutely no fragrance so good for sensitive skin. It moisturized through my 9 hours of sleep. I applied directly after my shower. Only con I found- hard to squeeze if you have arthritis.

Love this Dove!
I have picky and fussy skin! I never really know what might upset it, and cause it to freak out! I do know that the skin on my hands, particularly around my cuticle area, has an attitude problem! If I use the wrong nail polish or nail polish remover, wash my hands too much, if it's too hot or too cold, or if I just breathe wrong at this point; my cuticles are going to get wrecked! I've tried cuticle oils, cuticle masks, cuticle creams, and everything in between to help them; but to no avail! And what makes it worse, is that l'm a picker! So, once I see a flap of skin, I have to get rid of it! This is a bad combo! But, I'm really happy to report that this Dove Cream Serum REALLY helped!! My skin isn't near as inflamed, it's healed in a few spots completely, and I was even able to put some nail strengthener on them, without my cuticles feeling like they were on fire!! I used this product after cuticle oil to lock it in, and it helped so much!! It is odorless, so no perfumes to make the inflammation worse! It is creamy but melts down nicely into the skin! It lasts! And I love all of the extras in it like the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! I've also started using this on my legs, feet, and my heels look like a baby’s butt! Soft and dead skin free! My strawberry legs have even started to look less noticeable.

New body line by Dove
Love this new actives line for the body by Dove. Lightly fragranced or none at all, absorbs quickly leaves no sticky residue & feels great on thirsty skin. I have tried all 3 and like them all.

Too dry.
My skin doesn’t feel any better. The lotion is very dry. Doesn’t spread well.
