A spiritual quest across a changing America

Elizabeth Cooper’s account spans a life shaped by major social changes, from her birth in postwar Brooklyn to her move to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1970 and involvement in its counterculture communes. Questions about social equity and the possibility of knowing God frame the narrative. The book presents her search for answers alongside an unexpected encounter with the God of Israel, bringing personal spiritual experience into a story grounded in Jewish identity and the cultural upheavals of the 1960s and ’70s.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Jewish spirituality and accounts of personal faith.
  • Readers drawn to memoirs set against the cultural changes of postwar America.
  • Readers interested in the counterculture and communal life of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Book overview

Can you know God; and how would that relationship impact your life?

 

A Jewish Tale is a saga of an American Jewess's life, which spans from her birth in Brooklyn at the end of World War II, through the great cultural upheaval of the 1960s and '70s to the present.

 

Moving to the West Coast in 1970, Ms. Cooper lived in communes in the San Francisco Bay area, and was very much a participant of the counterculture. During that turbulent era, she began asking such pivotal questions as, "Can you change society to make it more equitable for all" And, "Can you know God; and how would that relationship impact your life"

 

Follow Ms. Cooper's quest for the answers to her probing questions. Read the account of how this Jewish woman had an encounter with the God of Israel in a most unexpected way.
