In this fresh and delightful guide, Rabbi Goldie Milgram, well-known pioneer in Jewish education and innovation, guides you on a quest to rediscover spiritual meaning for living.

Focusing on Jewish holy days and Shabbat, Rabbi Goldie solidly grounds her teachings in a context of religious pluralism with careful attention to both tradition and cutting-edge developments across the full spectrum of Jewish life. From engaging in meditation walks to prepare you to do teshuvah, to identifying the minyan of your life, to creating a spiritual menu for your Passover seder, the practices in this inspiring guide resonate with your concerns today.

Whether new to Judaism, deeply engaged, or returning with curiosity and hope after a long absence, Rabbi Goldie provides the spiritual tools you need to dig beneath the layers of tradition to reconnect with a healthy spiritual life infused with meaning, integrity, and joy.
