"In this splendidly compelling, moving, and paradigm-changing book, Yarden Azoulay Katz recovers and analyzes centuries of radical Jewish critiques of dominant capitalist ideas about medicine, science, sexuality, reproduction, resource extraction, and state-centered politics. In recovering the generative ideas and practices of this tradition, L'Shleimut is a book that is right on time with its inspiring and empowering provocations to counter death-dealing practices with life-affirming ideas, epistemologies, and actions."?George Lipsitz, author of The Danger Zone Is Everywhere "In a moment of profound and painful division, Yarden Azoulay Katz has given us a bracing argument for wholeness. This book reminds us that it can only come through the kind of internationalism and solidarity with all who struggle for rights that was a central tenet of Yiddishist culture more than a century ago. A beautiful meandering ride, this book takes us from Shifra and Puah to Emma Goldman and Clara Lemlich, from the Bund to ACT UP. It is joyously nonlinear, organized more like a page of Talmud in places than a traditional academic book. It fuses scholarship, political reckoning, history, theology, art, and prayer in a reverent homage to a vibrant diaspora Jewish identity that has been nearly lost to collective memory."?Annelise Orleck, author of Common Sense and a Little Fire.
