On these long, summer shabboses, even the busiest ‘imamother’ usually has at least five minutes when they can take a break and pick up a book.

We’re not looking for something too heavy… or too intellectual… or too long…

Just something that will raise our spirits, inspire us to keep going through the tough times, maybe make us giggle, and to reassure us that we aren’t the only ones who have teenagers who want to dye their hair blue…

Welcome to:

The Secret Diary of a Jewish Housewife!

Here’s what other real, frum Jewish women have been saying about it:

1. - Dassie: “Rivka comes off as a quirky & compelling Everywoman, but with the caveat that she's able to dig down much deeper than these diaries ever go...and still remain engaging & readable….Regardless of who you are, this book offers a lot to laugh about, read about, and think about.”

2. M: “I am so glad I invested in this book it answered many questions I have about myself, and shows me how to live this precious life that Hashem has blessed me with. It helps remind me to cling to Hashem even when things aren't going as planned.”

3. Angela: “Loved the "realness" of the book...it inspired us to keep on going even when we feel like we're not successful at most of what we're trying to do...*:-)”

4: Evey: “There are just so many excellent points in this book and it has made a tremendously huge impact on how I live my life on a day to day basis. The author's raw honesty woke a part of me that had been sleeping for many years unbeknownst to myself and I like to consider myself a mindful conscious person. After reading this book I was able to take a very deep exhale.

“I have more compassion for myself, less critical of myself. I am doing my best in this world by being truthfully honest of where I am holding in my Judaism and that the small steps done with heart allows one to climb up that spiritual ladder. We women have been way too harsh on ourselves and each other and I felt Rivka just took the pressure valve off by opening herself to her own inner conflicts that I can totally relate to. Thank you Rivka Levy! This book came to me at the right time in my life.”

5. Gavriela: “It is so refreshing to read a book by someone grounded in reality, who is not lecturing, but rather is opening a window into her soul's journey. The Secret Diary of a Jewish Housewife offers something for everyone and I highly recommend it.”

6. Galia: “Rivka brings to life the real dilemmas and challenges to be faced in 21st Century Jewish observant family life…Absorbing, easy to read, engaging and highly recommended.”

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT:

“I have been personally challenged by bouts of anxiety and depression over the years and have tried various remedies, such as acupuncture, yoga, reflexology, herbs, vitamins, as well as so called conventional medicinal cures ie anti-depressants.

I have also read many books on anxiety and depression which have swamped the market. Rivka's book is totally unique in this area, as she not only provides a simple and clear guide to natural healing methods, but also places the idea of the Creator as being central to the healing process, which most other self healing books ignore!

…This book is must for those who have looked for solutions to health problems and haven't yet found them. This book is basically a life changer!”

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT:

“The minute I saw the first pages, I was enchanted. First of all, I love immersing myself in the kaleidoscope of delicious color on nearly every page.
Secondly, the exercises are enjoyable and meaningful. There is also a really good balance, meaning that if one day's exercise demands more time and emotional investment, then the exercise of the next day or the one after is like a light breeze.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT:

“I've seen how talking to God in a meaningful way changes everything - literally. Things I just couldn't get to work out or situations that "experts" insist can't be changed or improved, actually did improve or even got resolved once I started talking to God regularly….I highly recommend this book for beginners, for the religious and spiritual seekers, and for the doubters.”

HOW YOUR EMOTIONS ARE MAKING YOU SICK

HOW IT CAN HELP YOU:

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT:

“Wow, I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. I would have started to enjoy life so much earlier!...What is so unique about Rivka Levy's approach is that she doesn't want you to go search out energy healers and the like in your search for wellbeing. She wants you to be independent and believe that you can do so much for your own healing.

Levy encourages and guides you to get to the root of whatever is weakening your meridian (thus affecting your emotions and physical health). By doing the simple energy exercises she provides in the book together with her no-fail advice of connecting and talking to God about what's bothering you and strengthening the foundations of my own emotional health, I have slowly but surely started to experience healing on all levels from deep inside.

This book has helped me infinitely more than hours of therapy or doctors' visits. Warmly recommended!”
