Our past does not simply disappear. The painful history of our ancestors and their rich cultural wisdom intertwine within us to create the patterns of our future. Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our childrena legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives.

In this book, Tirzah Firestone brings to life the profound impact of protracted historical trauma through the compelling narratives of Israeli terror victims, Holocaust survivors, and those whose lives were marred by racial persecution and displacement. The tragic story of Firestones own family lays the groundwork for these revealing testimonies of recovery, forgiveness, and moral leadership. Throughout, Firestone interweaves their voices with neuroscientific and psychological findings, as well as relevant and inspiring Jewish teachings.

Seven principles emerge from these wise narrativespowerful prescriptive tools that speak to anyone dealing with the effects of past injury. At the broadest level, these principles are directives for staying morally awake in a world rife with terror.

Wounds into Wisdom:

Suffering trauma is tragedy enough, but burying tragedy only creates a magnet for more suffering. Tirzah Firestones WOUNDS INTO WISDOM is for anyone who has suffered trauma, either directly or in a family whose generational trauma is buried. It helps readers uncover suffering and use it to help othersthe final stage of healing. We may not be able to control what happens to us, but we can create what happens next.Gloria Steinem

An explosion of suffering, death and trauma has overtaken humanity during the past century and shows no signs of abating. Rabbi Tirzah Firestone speaks on every page of this deeply moving book with her heart and mind and from the deepest wellsprings of Jewish tradition to find sources of solace to transform wounds into wisdom. Her book spills over with empathy and compassion, forging a uniquely spiritual voice that heals and lifts our souls. Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College and editor of Abraham Joshua Heschel: Essential Writings

If we are ever to transform conflict and bring peace to this wounded world, we will need to understand and address collective and intergenerational trauma. In this illuminating and inspiring book, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone interweaves deeply touching personal stories including her own with keen psychological insights to guide us on a journey of awakening and healing our traumas. Highly recommended!William Ury, co-author of the bestsellers Getting to Yes and author of Getting to Yes with Yourself

This book is both a gift of wisdom and an opening of the heart. Representing years and years of feeling research, rabbi and psychotherapist Tirzah Firestone lets us listen in to the powerful stories of people who have suffered trauma in their lives. She offers us the wisdom of a compassionate therapist whose understanding is broad and deep. But she also offers us the spiritual perspective of a rabbi who has found her way to the deeper currents of Jewish understanding. Running through WOUNDS INTO WISDOM, and binding it, is an autobiographical account of her own familys trauma. That account is powerful in itself, but it is also empoweringwe can feel how the author has herself lived through trauma, and has even found her way to become a great healer and teacher. The book is addressed primarily to the Jewish experience of trauma in the twentieth century. But I believe it would be of profound help to anyone seeking to navigate the path to healing from traumawhich I believe, in some ways, is all of us.Rodger Kamenetz, author of The Jew in the Lotus and The History of Last Nights Dream

WOUNDS INTO WISDOM is a tour de force! Rabbi Firestone has woven together threads of truth about trauma that include her own familys life-experience of trauma inherited from the Holocaust, the new science of the inherited effects of trauma on genetic material and on the brain, studies of the social impact of traumatic events on large groups of people, and the mystical traditions of Kabbalah about the wounded human soul. She has woven these threads into a shimmering shawl of healing.Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of The Shalom Center and author of GodwrestlingRound 2 and Torah of the Earth: Exploring 4,000 Years of Ecology in Jewish Thought

With tender compassion and luminous insight, Rabbi Tirzah unwraps the hidden layers of stories, wounds, and wisdom that characterize the global Jewish community. She deftly lifts the complex history of modern Judaism to the light, offering an opportunity for particular reconciliation and universal healing.Mirabai Starr, author of God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and Caravan of No Despair: A Memoir of Loss and Transformation

A very important book. Rabbi Tirzah is a wounded healer. She uses the tale of her own trauma in a Holocaust survivor family as a stepping stone toward understanding survivor stories told by a wide variety of Jews, including many Israelis. But she then broadens the lens, showing how these very particularistic tales of personal struggle and healing may help people of many cultures to deal with legacies of exile and loss. A narrative of deep empathy and much wisdom.Professor Art Green, Founding Dean of Hebrew College, Boston, and author of Judaisms Ten Best Ideas and Radical Judaism

WOUNDS INTO WISDOM is a book to share and spread. Rabbi Tirzah Firestones compassionate wisdom shines through every page as she leads her readers on a journey toward freedom and healing from communal trauma. Transformation no longer seems like a wishful aspiration, it is a birthright we all have the power to claim.Naomi Levy, author of Einstein and the Rabbi

Brilliant, beautiful, and compels one to positive action. The people interviewed are so real and lovable. [Firestones] writing opens ones heart to healing and hope. This is a book I will read again for inspiration and specific principles to live a joyful, liberated life.Dr. Anita L. Sanchez, author of The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times

Drawing on remarkable, true stories and tantalizing psychological and scientific theories that trace trauma in previous generations to subsequent ones, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone makes a strong case that the experiences of past generations live on in us. She provides a convincing case in remarkably clear language. WOUNDS INTO WISDOM is a powerful game-changer in how we will come to view trauma.Howard Schwartz, editor of Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism

WOUNDS INTO WISDOM is a timely and moving book that speaks to this particular historical moment, when current events are triggering deeply buried trauma and traumatizing new populations. Firestone makes a clear and urgent case for the importance of this work and its application to different contexts, and grounding it in her own familys story makes the book come alive.Judith Rosenbaum, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Jewish Womens Archive

Tirzah Firestones WOUNDS INTO WISDOM offers hope to those whose lives have been shattered by trauma. The question at the heart of this book is this: Can you emerge from tragedy wiser and more free? Her answer eloquently stated and illustrated by powerful stories and profound insight, is yes you can. If tragedy haunts your life or the lives of those you loveread this book; it has the potential to change everything.Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of Minyan and annotation of sacred teachings in Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent

We all fear trauma and take pains to avoid or bury it. As a result, trauma can lodge in the body or the unconscious, and, as Tirzah Firestone writes in this compelling book, can be passed unknowingly from generation to generation, like a train depositing its load, car after car, into our newborn skin. The power of this book is in the stories she relates of people whove suffered extreme pain, faced it head-on, and found a path to healing. The stories soften our hearts, inspire gratitude and compassion for our fellow humans, and give us the tools to make sure the train of trauma goes no further.Sara Davidson, New York Times bestselling author of The December Project, Loose Change, and Joan: Forty Years of Life, Loss, and Friendship with Joan Didion

Tirzah Firestone is a compelling and genuinely fresh voice, revealing over and over again resonant truths that hold meaning for today. I am moved by this book. And even when I disagree with her, Firestone makes me think in a broader way, as she will you.Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of Jewish Literacy and Jewish Wisdom
