This book is not just for Jewish people. It is for all people who would gain strength to heal and insight from the Jewish tradition. Using a one-day-at-a-time monthly format, a spiritual leader who continues to reach out to addicted people, and all those seeking spiritual renewal, reflects on the rhythm of the Jewish calendar with recovering people and other teachers. Together they bring insight to recovery from addictions and compulsive behaviors of all kinds. This sensitive volume soars with the spirit of the Jewish soul and year. Its exercises help us move from thinking to doing. Rabbi Kerry M.
