Welcome to Litsy!

4/5 ⭐️

Author was raised Jewish, became a Christian when she was an adult. She found she missed some aspects of her Jewish faith, particularly the mindfulness of various parts of life. Good reminder, especially during these times, of the importance of being mindful about our lives and the choices we make, and, if it applies, your faith.

“If you call my friend Molly and no one is home, you will be greeted by an answering machine that asks, in the voice of Molly‘s sixyear-old son, that you ‘please tell us your story.‘”

I‘m still working, and much of it is checking in on people. To remind myself of the need to care for myself, I picked up this book I‘ve meant to read for a few years, to remind myself to live intentionally, more mindful of my faith.

I loved reading this book on the differences between how Jews and Christians deal with aspects of observance. It was a beautiful look at the rituals of Judaism from a Jew who has converted to Christianity. It drew me closer to Judaism.

Interesting meditation on differences between Christian and Jewish practice and theology as well as the author spiritual journey. I am not at all religious ( bad catholic)but I enjoyed very much learning about Jewish practice and worldview.

This is a book about those things I miss. It is about Sabbaths and weddings and burials and prayers, rituals Jews and Christians both observe, but also rituals we observe quite differently. It is about paths to the God of Israel that both Jews and Christians travel.
