The national bestseller from one of our country’s most prominent rabbis, an inspiring book about the power of community based on one of her most impactful sermons.
 
In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society?
Sharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care. 
 
Integrating the wisdom of Kabbalah into the text, we will explore this book and its lessons to manifest greater connection and meaning in our lives.

        The concept of soul transmigration was introduced into Judaism by the Kabbalah masters of France and Spain in the early twelfth century. Reincarnation speaks to our awareness of self-identity as it takes on new forms through different lifetimes. We explore the philosophic, scientific and spiritual understandings of reincarnation and offer the experience of a guided group regression for access to prior life experiences.
