lizshayne 's review for:
Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice
by Judith Lewis Herman
dark
informative
reflective
fast-paced
There's a lot in this book that's really useful from a rabbinic perspective, both on ideas of what exactly repair is and how it maps onto what we think about in terms of repentance, but most importantly - the role of community in supporting victims and survivors of all kinds. And that role is not (just) taking care, but the idea of moral community needing to recognize and name the harm that happened and to whom and by whom.
Because it's the failure of the community's morality that breaks and hurts people.
