   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) s_carr | Feb 25, 2024 |  This book is really for all Jews: R'Lew makes clear that he has no expectations on what you believe, or if you believe anything at all. Whether you believe in G-d, whether you participate in any ritual life, whether you even acknowledge the HH, what is real is that we have on fewer day each day; our lives matter, but also will inevitably be forgotten and it is our responsibility to write the books of our lives how we wish them to be. And that we will fail at that responsibility. Those are the undeniable, intolerable facts of life. R'Lew died suddenly at a relatively young age, and that made his work more poignant to me. (It's not aged perfectly: the passage about what an amazing and virtuous person Giuliani is made me cringe, reading it in 2019.) ( ) settingshadow | Aug 19, 2023 | This accessible, anecdote-heavy description of Elul through Yom Kippur was a joy to read. Those who are looking for a practical guide should choose something else (maybe Anita Diamant's Living a Jewish Life), but those searching for spiritual and personal meaning will appreciate Rabbi Lew's blending of traditional biblical interpretation and New Age practices. ( ) maine_becca | Sep 25, 2019 | And I was shocked at the fact that WWI began in the Pale, thus displacing many Jews who then became far easier prey in WWII. Why do our history books not mention this? Also inverting the famous 'those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it" by saying that one must in fact repeat one's history, acknowledge it, in order to let it go. Otherwise this book mostly strikes me as a memoir with the rituals and weekly Parshiot between Tisha B'Av and Sukkot described woven together with the author's family history.

There are times in life when we are caught utterly unprepared: a death in the family, the end of a relationship, a health crisis. These are the times when the solid ground we thought we stood on disappears beneath our feet, leaving us reeling and heartbroken, as we stumble back to our faith. The Days of Awe encompass the weeks preceding Rosh Hashanah up to Yom Kippur, a period in which Jews take part in a series of rituals and prayers that reenact the journey of the soul through the world from birth to death. This is a period of contemplation and repentance, comparable to Lent and Ramadan. Yet, for Rabbi Alan Lew, the real purpose of this annual passage is for us to experience brokenheartedness and open our heart to God. In This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared, Lew has marked out a journey of seven distinct stages, one that draws on these rituals to awaken our soul and wholly transform us. Weaving together Torah readings, Buddhist parables, Jewish fables and stories from his own life, Lew lays bare the meanings of this ancient Jewish passage. He reveals the path from terror to acceptance, confusion to clarity, doubt to belief, and from complacency to awe. In the tradition of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, This Is Real And You Are Completely Unprepared enables believers of all faiths to reconnect to their faith with a passion and intimacy that will resonate throughout the year.
