(as a Jew, I have studied them).
Is she well know in Jewish circles?
She is very well known in Jewish circles. Her writings convey an intellect and introspective ability that is most admirable. I was first introduced to her writings at age 13 with a poem called ‘Blessed is the Match’.
She is well respected in Israel through her service in the British army during WWII. Her remains were brought back to Israel and interred on Mount Herzl. Her ability to offer hope in dark times through her writings are something that most Jews, particularly in Israel, can relate to and seek out for guidance and comfort.
