“This book isn’t just a memoir; it’s a friend.”—Etgar Keret, author of The Seven Good Years “Going Out With Knots is at once deeply personal, literary, and evocative. This is a book I’ll treasure and give to people I love.”—Rabbi Rachel Adler, professor emerita at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and author of Engendering Judaism “This book is a gift to anyone seeking meaning in the midst of sorrow. Rabbi Zierler’s eloquent blend of personal narrative and poetic interpretation seamlessly melds ancient and new traditions to reveal the profound ways that Jewish texts and Hebrew literature can guide us through loss and healing.”—Rabba Sara Hurwitz, president and cofounder of Yeshivat Maharat “My suggestion: savor small installments. Allow yourself to absorb the fine nuances in the discussion of each poem. When Zierler masterfully weaves together her extensive knowledge of modern Hebrew culture and traditional Jewish texts, there are multitudes of gems along the way.”—Naomi Sokoloff, coeditor of Since 1948: Israeli Literature in the Making
