Author Biography: Harold M. Schulweis

Book Synopsis

Drawing from both traditional and contemporary Jewish sources, this book explores Jewish lifecycle passages such as birth, bar/bat mitzvah, conversion, marriage, illness, and the end of life. Using profound insights, meditations and poetry on the events and rites that frame Jewish life, Rabbi Schulweis provides insight and a greater sense of the meaning behind these rites of passage. It is precisely these lifecycle events and the rituals that accompany them that help us connect to one another and to the Image of God within ourselves and others. Rabbi Harold Schulweis is known and respected as one of modern Judaism's most significant and creative thinkers and authors. He is the senior rabbi of Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, CA, and the founder of the Jewish Foundation of the Rescuers.
