Wake up your Jewish spiritual life and
restore your soul.
“Has your heart ever been
broken—by loss, divorce, disappointment, awe, fear, hope?
Have you multitasked, worked past the level of your endurance,
accumulated possessions, jumped the hurdles, and gotten the
grades only to wonder, “Is that all there is?” Do
you wish for a life that is physically grounded, emotionally
satisfying, intellectually expansive, and profoundly connected?
These are the qualities Judaism can provide when you understand
how to practice it.”
—from the Introduction
This inspiring guidebook is your wake-up
call for understanding the powerful intellectual and emotional
tools that are essential for a lively, relevant, and fulfilling
Jewish spiritual practice.
Designed to become a lifelong resource for
holy days and Shabbat, it presents Judaism as an evolving
tradition in which you are the entrusted heir. The exercises
and practices draw from the foundations of Judaism and empower
you to create meaningful, satisfying, contemporary Jewish
experiences for how you live today.

‘recipes’ for accessing a more visceral Judaism are
clear enough for those new to Jewish practice and deep and
fresh enough to challenge old timers.”
