“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” - Lao Tzu
As courageous as the “purple cows” she writes that little kids “unafraid to break the rules” will paint, Kathryn Levison has broken just about every literary rule to bring you one of the most original works you’ll ever read.
Combining prose, poetry, and more than a dozen full-color original paintings, “Ashes a Haggadic Memorial” is as complete a portrait of one man’s life ever written. Opening with a taste of their sweet and bittersweet love story cut far too short, Kathryn leads us into the very heart of Messianic Judaism with her husband’s Passover Haggadah. Written specifically for the last Seder she and her husband did together, the service not only walks you through the pivotal Jewish service commemorating Israel’s delivery from slavery in Egypt, but goes even deeper to the heart of one of the 20th century’s most unspeakable tragedies
The Holocaust.
Kathryn’s husband – “a smoker and a talker”- spent his last six months on their Florida lanai smoking, talking to Kathryn’s psychoanalyst, painting watercolors…and driving her crazy. Unbeknownst to either one, Mordechai was dying of a neurological disorder that manifested as bizarre, irresponsible behaviors. Kathryn initially chalked it up to the stubborn rebellion she herself experienced when she was first in therapy in her early 20s. She wasn’t completely wrong, for as the neurosurgeon who stove to save her husband’s life later explained, “basilar artery disease is hard to diagnose and harder to treat.”
But the stroke that ultimately killed him blindsided them both, so before he died, they fought. And even though Kathryn herself wasn’t born Jewish, one of her dearest friends said it best Kathryn and Mordechai were, “like an old Jewish couple. Fighting was how you guys loved each other.”
Read all about that love - and the fighting - in Kathryn’s award winning
“Baby, Can I Bum a Cigarette?” the piece that earned her the prestigious
FLORIDA WRITERS ASSOCIATION 2014 ROYAL PALM LITERARY AWARD for Short Non-Fiction Prose.
But, as her late Brooklynite husband would say, “Wait – there’s more!”
For everyone who’s ever wanted to poke a little fun at Sigmund Freud, Kathryn Levison doesn’t disappoint. Written from an outsider’s take on psychoanalysis – and an insider’s take on art – “Analysis of the Artist He Was Becoming” is rich with thought-provoking observations on the no-holds-barred “purple cow painting” creativity that analysis can, and often does, unleash. And who better to tell tales on Freudian creativity but the woman whose 6-word memoir reads
“Methodist, Lutheran, Jewish, Rabbi’s Widow…Confused.”
Simply put, if you’re looking for something that can make you laugh, cry, and contemplate - all in one sitting – and make you want to read and read again, Kathryn’s Levison’s “Ashes a Haggadic Memorial” is THE book for you to own, read…and love.

This book was my first purchase for a Kindle, and I found it extremely comfortable to read. I'll probably buy more Kindle books! This story, biographical, is a very touching love story between a Jewish man and his wife who converted to Judaism. Calli's love for her husband shines through this book as well as her love of the Jewish faith. I actually learned a whole lot about the Jewish faith and reasons why it should be important to Christians. The story is a wonderful, beautiful mixture of a husband/wife relationship and features of Christianity and its roots in Judaism written with pathos and love. It is very easy to read. Once I started reading it, it was hard to put it down. I highly recommend this book.Product details

Ashes a Haggadic Memorial Dancing with My Analyst eBook Kathryn Levison Reviews
It's easy to forget. It's easy to put aside the stories of family, of people, and to think only of the statistics. This lovely book is the story of love, of memories, of the tales told of family history. It's the kind of book that reaches the heart and puts the human element back into history and wraps it up neatly into a tribute to true love. The art is powerful in its simplicity. The love of a widow for her husband, her Rabbi, is captivating.
Well written, charming, emotional, thought-provoking, heart warming. Memorials are not my preference but, this one touched me. It was enjoyable and intriguing even as it brought tears to my eyes. Well worth the read.
