By: Danya RuttenbergWinner NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDS in Contemporary Jewish Life & Practice
Myra H. Kraft Memorial Award
A crucial new lens on repentance, atonement, forgiveness, and repair from harm—from personal transgressions to our culture's most painful and unresolved issues.
American culture focuses on letting go of grudges and redemption narratives instead of the perpetrator’s obligations or recompense for harmed parties. As survivor communities have pointed out, these emphases have too often only caused more harm. But Danya Ruttenberg knew there was a better model, rooted in the work of the medieval philosopher Maimonides.
For Maimonides, upon whose work Ruttenberg elaborates, forgiveness is much less important than the repair work to which the person who caused harm is obligated. The word traditionally translated as repentance really means something more like return, and in this book, returning is a restoration, as much as is possible, to the victim, and, for the perpetrator of harm, a coming back, in humility and intentionality, to behaving as the person we might like to believe we are.
Maimonides laid out five steps: naming and owning harm; starting to change/transformation; restitution and accepting consequences; apology; and making different choices. Applying this lens to both our personal relationships and some of the most significant and painful issues of our day, including systemic racism and the legacy of enslavement, sexual violence and harassment in the wake of #MeToo, and Native American land rights, On Repentance and Repair helps us envision a way forward.
Rooted in traditional Jewish concepts while doggedly accessible and available to people from any, or no, religious background, On Repentance and Repair is a book for anyone who cares about creating a country and culture that is more whole than the one in which we live, and for anyone who has been hurt or who is struggling to take responsibility for their mistakes.

Great idea, great cover, poor execution
Format: Paperback
This is a great idea that was badly done. On the production side, insufficient glue in the binding causes pages to fall out when you turn them - dozens of pages, not just one or two. This is surprising given the good quality of the paper and cover.
As for content, the writing is very poor & shallow. I'm reminded of a high school essay by poor student unfamiliar with history who is looking looking up the subject matter on Wikipedia as they go but leaving out all the good stuff. For example, we get a king list for Kush spread over several pages, but virtually no actual history -- despite the fact that all of Egypt was there to quote from for at least the enemy's side of the story, and Assyrian sources could have been cited as well. I don't gain much new information from the 50th repetition of "nobody knows this" and "nobody knows that." A real historian can impost structure on the unknowns by showing the archaeology or citing history & folklore & epigraphs. This could have been presented in simple high school language, outlining the alternative possibilities from the little we do know, and explaining how we know what little we know. Photographs of actual ruins and art would help. Unfortunately the subject matter is really not touched.
Too bad. This could have been a very good project.

Very Good Quality 👍🏾
Color: Gold Polished, Color: Gold Polished
Good quality. Study with some weight to it. Was pleasantly surprised at how good this looks. The gold color is very shiny which is what I was looking for. The base is large enough to hold a thick roll of Viva paper towels.

Great Paper Towel Holder! Sturdy and Stylish
Color: Black
I’ve been using this paper towel holder for about 6 months now, and I’m very happy with it! The design is sleek and modern, making it a perfect fit for my kitchen. It’s made from durable steel, and I love that the finish still looks brand new after months of use. The best part is how easy it is to replace rolls. I can quickly swap out old rolls without any hassle.
The weighted base and non-slip pad are fantastic features – I’ve accidentally bumped it a few times, and it hasn’t tipped over once. It stays securely in place, which is a huge plus. I also appreciate that it’s versatile enough to fit all paper towel sizes.
Overall, this is a high-quality and functional product that’s also aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a sturdy, easy-to-use paper towel holder!

Perfect!
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
Been using this thing for over a year now and it is fantastic. The color is beautiful and as described. The price was a very good price point. The size is everything you need it to be because it’s nice and sturdy; it holds a big Costco size roll. And the roll actually fits over the top. You don’t have to unscrew it. In love.

Stylish and sturdy paper towel holder
Color: Gold Polished
This gold paper towel holder looks great on my counter and works perfectly. The base is nice and heavy keeping it sturdy, which keeps it from sliding or tipping when I pull off a paper towel. I’ve had no issues with the roll coming loose or falling off, even when grabbing sheets quickly. It’s both functional and elegant. Gives you good value for the money. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks good and stays in place.
