This book assumes, in a beautiful and affirming way, the same level of knowledge about and familiarity with Judaism that is often assumed of Christianity (in the US at least). The entire time I was reading the book I felt seen and like I was in community with people who share my history and experience. And months later I still feel this when thinking about When the Angels Left the Old Country.
