(63) The Stories That Carry … with Dena Schusterman

Dena Schusterman is the author of "Stories Carry," a personal memoir about faith, belonging, and the inherited stories that shape us. As the daughter of Chabad emissaries in 1970s Berkeley, California, and now a Chabad *shlucha* herself in Atlanta, Dena, mother of eight, has spent her life straddling two worlds – deeply rooted in Hasidic tradition while fully engaged in modern society.   Her book has a unique style, interweaving stories from her past, her parents, and grandparents. It's a fun read that will definitely get you thinking … great for Jewish book clubs. As Mayim Bialik wrote, "Dena's stories have the power to move us both because we can clearly see our own life in them and also because we cannot. Raised in an observant and committed Jewish home, she has lived a life so different from what many of us have experienced."  LINK to Dena's website LINK to the book at Amazon LINK to the book at Mercer University Press LINK to the OU's AI site If you have suggested questions you would like us to ask in our upcoming broad survey on the topic of technology, email them to [mark@nishmaresearch.com](mailto:mark@nishmaresearch.com)
