Description

This innovative guidebook makes accessible Judaism's spiritual pathways, principles and applications, and empowers you to test their value within your own life.

Each chapter provides step-by-step, recipe-like guides to a particular Jewish practice or group of practices, gives examples of how they might unfold inside your life, and shows how each can help refuel your spirit throughout the day.

You'll discover:

  • Prayer practices for embracing the body and creation with awe, limbering up your mind, and preparing for compassionate action
  • How to draw sustenance from the Great Mystery, the inexplicable and unknowable Source of Life
  • How to mine the Torah's stories, commentaries, symbols and metaphors for meaning
  • Ways to develop your Hebrew vocabulary so you can formulate your own interpretations of sacred text
  • How to explore and practice mitzvot as meaningful, compelling parts of your spiritual life
  • How to view the Jewish people as a precious human resource and as a model for resilience
  • ...and much, much more.
