Faith&Religion.

Faith and Religion are both two very important things in the book because through this book it explains how the mother came from a very orthodox Judaism family that lived by traditions. And as time went on the mother dealed with many things but always had faith in herself and others, especially her children. Rachel was also very religious her and her kids would attend church all the time and she had her kids do some of the readings. The family always had a way of getting through things.
