“The craft of qualitative research must be learned. It is a mistake to think that things are self-evident, and that natural curiosity or empathetic impressions are sufficient. It is not an art, but a skill that must be acquired. It involves theory, method, and critique, just like any other worthy academic discipline. Slowly, in various centers of knowledge around the world, training programs and teaching materials are being developed to provide the next generation of learners in the ‘human sciences’ with what most of us—more seasoned researchers—had to learn and teach ourselves through trial and error.

In this context, I warmly welcome Asher Shkedi’s book, Words That Try to Touch: Qualitative Research – Theory and Practice. In a systematic manner, based on extensive knowledge and supported by vivid examples from the field of education, the book confidently guides the learner toward a sound understanding and correct application of qualitative research. It joins the beginnings of a new shelf in the Hebrew academic bookshelf on this important subject.”
