Secular and religious Jews alike will find wisdom and inspiration in this new book in which Rabbi David Aaron reveals the joy that living a Jewish life can bring. With his characteristic humor, enthusiasm, and insight, Rabbi Aaron looks at key, and often misunderstood, aspects of Jewish practiceour relationship with God, Torah study, prayer, living the commandments, celebrating the Sabbath, and keeping kosherand shows us how they enable us to access and express the godliness within us.
Celebrating Shabbat, for example, reminds us that we are created in the image of God, empowered with free choice and intention; studying the Torah releases our chen , or inner beauty and grace; and observing kosher laws helps keep us in touch with our human sensitivity.
