Finding Each Other in Judaism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807407646)

Drawing from both traditional and contemporary Jewish sources, this book explores Jewish life-cycle passages such as birth, bar/bat mitzvah, conversion, marriage, illness, and the end of life. Using profound insights, meditations and poetry on the events and rites that frame Jewish life, Rabbi Schulweis provides insight and a greater sense of the meaning behind these rites of passage. It is precisely these life-cycle events and the rituals that accompany them that help us connect to one another and to the Image of God within ourselves and others.

• Deals with the peaks and valleys of life
• Uses prose and poetic meditations
• Draws from both traditional and contemporary Jewish sources
