Description: Return from Exile is the engaging, funny, often profound story of Carol Matzkin Orsborn's first year at divinity school, the year that transformed her life. In this spiritual "pressure cooker, " we share the author's friendships with similarly searching students, her encounters with challenging and supportive professors, and her first serious engagement with Jewish and Christian literatures. In a largely Christian environment, Orsborn ironically discovers the hidden riches in her own tradition and her unconsciously held prejudices and loyalties. Eventually, she returns to the heart of Judaism, but a very different Judaism from the one she left behind.
