Join a JMCW virtual gathering led by Ellen Winter and Amy Golen as we come together during the sacred time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. With Rabbi Alan Lew Z”L as our teacher, we will discuss sections of his classic book, This Is Real And You Are Completely Unprepared: The Days of Awe as a Journey of Transformation. Rabbi Lew continues to be one of the leading voices in Jewish spiritual practice and his insights can guide our reflections on the meaning of teshuvah, especially during these unusual days. The complete book is inspiring and can be easily purchased online. Note there is an updated paperback edition. If you would prefer a shorter read, here is a link to some relevant portions for our discussion, including Chapter 7: “What the Soul Does While the Gates Are Still Open: The Ten Days of Teshuvah.”
