Join Rabbi Sara Abrams for a discussion series on Rabbi Alan Lew’s book This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared. Register for this four-week Zoom class.
“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.
“For Rabbi Lew, the real purpose of The Days of Awe is for us to experience brokenheartedness and open our hearts to God. 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.” (from the bookjacket)
This four-week class begins on Thursday, August 29th and continues every Thursday through September 19 on Zoom from 7:00 to 8:15 pm.
In preparation for the class, please purchase the book This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared by Rabbi Alan Lew and read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 for the first class. Rabbi Lew’s book is available locally at Roundabout Books and Dudley’s, or online at your favorite bookseller.
