The Jewish Way to a Good Life: Find Happiness, Build Community, and Embrace Lovingkindness, (Paperback)

<p>For as long as Judaism has been a religion, "Jewish" has been a culture--one whose unique blend of ritual and realism has kept its people going for some 3,000 years. In <em>The Jewish Way to a Good Life</em>, Rabbi Shira Stutman invites readers of every faith--and none--to do <em>chesed</em> (good work), foster <em>tzedek</em> (justice), practice <em>shabbat</em> (rest), and ultimately find happiness.</p><p>From <strong>Love</strong> and <strong>Sex</strong> to <strong>Mourning</strong> and <strong>Money</strong>, Rabbi Shira visits ten realms where we <em>all</em> get lost on occasion, to deliver spirited, sometimes surprising wisdom. On love: <em>Sex is meant to be fun and liberating</em>. On rest: <em>Time is even more sacred than things</em>. Again and again, she reveals how customs have survived not out of obligation, but because they meet our deepest needs--from <em>shiva</em>, which allows mourning families not to be OK, to the unbridled joy of dancing the <em>hora</em> at weddings.</p><p>For anyone seeking community, meaning, or simply "something more," <em>The Jewish Way to a Good Life</em> offers practical, time-tested ways to enrich our daily routines and engage those around us. By looking in and reaching out, we can all help <em>tikkun olam</em>--heal the world.</p><p> <strong>#1 Bestseller in Women &amp; Judaism</strong> </p>
