Climbing Jacob's Ladder: One Man's Journey to Rediscover a Jewish Spiritual Tradition


Alan Morinis - 2002
    But in 1997, in the face of personal crisis, he turned to his Jewish heritage for guidance. In his reading he happened upon a Jewish spiritual tradition called Mussar. Gradually he realized that he had stumbled upon an insightful discipline for self-development, complete with meditative, contemplative, and other well-developed transformative practices designed to penetrate the deepest roots of the inner life. Eventually reaching the limits of what he could learn on his own, he decided to seek out a Mussar teacher. This was not an easy task, since almost the entire world of the Mussar tradition had been wiped out in the Holocaust. In time, he found an accomplished master who stood in an unbroken line of transmission of the Mussar tradition, and who lived in the center of a community of Orthodox Jews on Long Island. This book tells the story of Morinis’s journey to meet his teacher and what he learned from him, revealing the central teachings and practices that are the spiritual treasury and legacy of Mussar.

He discovered where happiness lives, often in unexpected places, through family, community, friendship and responsibilities. He also found it through a renewed relationship with God who spoke to his deepest needs.Based, in part, on his columns in the UK's Times newspaper, Celebrating Life is for people of all faiths and none. It shows us how to be human and, in becoming so, how we can touch the divine.

Afterlife Adventures: Life After Death Stories | What Happens when We Die | Is there Proof?


William Fergus Martin - 2017
    Afterlife Adventures lets you compare different people's experiences from the Afterlife. Is there life after death? Is there proof? What is it like to die? What really happens in Heaven? In this book you can compare different people's accounts of what it was like for them to 'die', what happened to them next, and what happened after that... The Afterlife stories include people who passed over from a heart attack, from an accident, from a long illness, in a battle zone and so on.Afterlife Adventures includes a whole chapter, When a Child 'Dies', dedicated to the heart-rending issue of what happens when a child passes over. This includes poignant messages from children who have been able to come back and tell their parents about their experience. You will discover why parents of children who 'die' before they were born are in for a big surprise when they pass over (hint: life starts at conception and the child continues to mature in the Afterlife).Get tips on being prepared for the move over there in the chapter: How to Have a Good Afterlife. Get to know about the 'nitty gritty' of the practical realities of the Afterlife. Understand why some people find it hard at first to believe that they have actually 'died' - as passing over was so easy. One man was so busy chatting away to his gardener that he did not even notice that he had 'died' till he saw that the gardener was panicking about something. He looked down and was bemused to see his own body lying on the ground. He started to wonder, "Am I dead?" and then saw his long-missed mother there to welcome him with open arms.Be reassured as to why the average person has a far better experience in the Afterlife than on Earth. Learn how the religious idea of a 'Judgment Day' is really a metaphor for the Law of Attraction as it works out in the Afterlife realms. You will also discover why there is no such thing as 'eternal punishment' and that the path of progress and evolution is open to everyone.Explore ideas about what people actually 'do' in the Afterlife and why you don't have to float around on a cloud and get bored. We also look at big questions such as how Afterlifers (people in the Afterlife) experience God, the role of important religious figures in the Afterlife and issues such as what causes some people to become Earth Bound and how to help them.The chapter on Reincarnation and Rebirth offers thought-provoking ideas that give a very different slant on this fascinating topic. We explore how connecting with a Group Soul allows us to fully experience an 'incarnation' without having to actually incarnate.Afterlife Adventures only asks you to have an open mind and explore what people have to say about their own passing over. Why not replace superstition with facts; replace ignorance with practical information; replace grief with hope and comfort; and replace fear and dread with love and wonder?

To Begin Again: The Journey Toward Comfort, Strength, and Faith in Difficult Times


Naomi Levy - 1998
    The words in this book come from the heart--mine and the hearts of others. I pray that you will find within them a spark that will ignite the flame of hope and the passion for healing that lies within us all."Naomi Levy was a spirited fifteen-year-old when her father was murdered in a senseless holdup that destroyed not only his life but her trust in a loving God. Healing took a long time, yet from her struggles with grief, anger, and depression, she forged the wisdom that made her, at twenty-six, a beloved rabbi--and now makes her book a miracle of honesty, recovery, and compassion.Where do we find the strength to meet tragedy? Can we rekindle hope? Innocence? Faith? The answers, illustrated with many moving, true stories drawn from Rabbi Levy's experience and the lives of her congregants, provide sanity, peace, and a safe harbor where we can heal and grow. Remember: "Death is a great tragedy. But to die while we are still living, that is the greatest tragedy of all."
