Synopsis

What do we need to do to turn our “religion” into our lives?

This 20th anniversary sequel to a seminal book of the Jewish renewal movement deals with spirituality in relation to personal growth, marriage, ecology, feminism, politics, and more. Including new chapters, Waskow outlines original ways to merge "religious" life and "personal" life in our society today.
