Riassunto

A personal guide to the life-giving treasures of the Jewish spiritual tradition.

The classic born-again experience is a sudden, discontinuous event. For a person growing with God in daily practice, there is likely to be less drama. The experience will be more gentle, natural, and easier on your immediate family.... If you stay with this work, you have every reason to trust the adage, “When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears.”
—from First Steps to a New Jewish Spirit

This extraordinary spiritual handbook is a compassionate call to reconnect with your spiritual roots and nourish your relationship with God. Breaking free from ways of Jewish worship that no longer inspire, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi—one of the most important Jewish spiritual teachers since Abraham Joshua Heschel—guides you through practical exercises for enriching the most important aspects of everyday life—physical health, work, marriage, family, prayer—and empowers you with contemporary ways to satisfy your modern spiritual hunger.

Whether refreshing your soul with a midday mini-Sabbath or improving your relationships by refining your awareness, Reb Zalman will introduce you to new models of practicing Judaism. In doing so, he will challenge you to embrace your faith as both spiritually and emotionally enriching, and will awaken you to innovative, inspiring ways for leading a meaningful Jewish life.

Product Description:

In First Steps To A New Jewish Spirit, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, the inspiration of the Jewish Renewal movement, journeys deep into the rich but hidden tradition of meditation, contemplation, and the spiritual search in Judaism for fresh and contemporary rituals to inspire spiritual growth. Emphasizing practice rather than theory, compassion rather than authority, Reb Zalman will show you how the Jewish tradition's power to transform your life is available now, and will give you the practical steps to begin reaping its benefits. Drawing from personal experience as a rabbi, teacher, father, lover, and friend, Reb Zalman will introduce you to new concepts and methods for restoring emotional, spiritual, and bodily vigour, such as: Accessing organic time to soothe your hurried mind; Practising visualisation techniques to improve your relationship with others and with God; Using focusing techniques to re-establish your spiritual connection with sacred texts; Rediscovering the power of prayer through word and song
