Herman's delightful work tells a compelling story while leading us on a spiritual journey towards deeper connection-giving us a guide to navigating the emerging complexities of the post-COVID world.
As a reader, we can feel and not just imagine what was going on. And this book, for me, felt like it was coming from something deeper. It felt like the author was taking me on a journey of how life transforms for most of us. We may have different experiences, but the passage of life itself is present in the book. Our memories and regrets of the past. The pressures in our present. And the worries for our future. The author laid it there for us in a way that we can connect and relate to the main character somehow.

Tova Herman's writing style is noteworthy as I found it instantaneously inviting. Her text is full of descriptive and figurative language so precise that the reader feels and experiences life right alongside her. One of my favorite elements of her writing is her poetic use of imagery. She then entwines multiple themes such as family, identity, and success, leaving numerous lessons just waiting to be found and explored.
Go Forth from Where You Are was derived from the book of Genesis, where God commanded Abraham to go forth from where he is to a land that he would show him. The moral lesson derived from Abraham's compliance is worthy of emulation. He willingly left the comfort of his house to an unknown place because he placed his trust in God. With this, the author urges us to let go of the past and move forward.
It takes great technique to engage the readers with just narrative content, but her use of words and how detailed each scenario is quite impressive. Another pointer is on how she used the five senses to make us feel, taste, see, hear and smell what she wanted to convey in her writings.
The author did not only tell a compelling story; she held the reader by the hand on a spiritual journey of profound connection with our essence as mortal beings.
Jewish beliefs and practices also present a recurring theme concerning her understanding and battling of her Dybbuk. Although Tova's religion is significant to her spiritual growth and happiness, the text neither feels uncomfortable nor does it push to persuade the reader to question their belief system and morals. Alternatively, the author aims to tell her story, perhaps inspiring the reader to confront their own Dybbuk.
