Hi AWOB.
I am not familiar with the book, but we can only hope readers will understand the book defines that family, and not Judaism.
You bring up an excellent point. Stories associated with bad conduct by orthodox Jews make the front page like no other stories, but the good stories are only known by us, it seems.
The more I learn, the more it puzzles me as to why there are anti-semites. I often think to myself that if people really knew what Torah-true Judaism is, they would see it’s truth, beauty, and intelligence, and see it as being the foremost representation of Good.
But amazing stories of amazing people like the baal chesed and the one who is mivatur and the one who strengthens their devotion to Hashem all resulting in amazing things, are known only to us. Why? I really don’t know.
