Inviting God In: Celebrating the Soul-Meaning of the Jewish Holy Days
It's not about how to celebrate; it's about why!
This warm, inspiring look at the holidays from Rabbi David Aaron—one of the most dynamic and accessible teachers of Jewish thought today—shows us how each holy day can empower us to recognize God’s loving presence in our lives every day.
Holidays are not the same as vacations, Aaron points out. Vacations allow us to escape our everyday lives, but holidays are a time to connect, to remember that which we take for granted. Aaron suggests that each holiday can be thought of as a “date” with God: a time to strengthen our bond with the divine, and to reinforce our awareness of God’s love for us.

revitalize our personal relationship with God.
“David Aaron has so much common sense and wisdom about life, and a style that just draws you in with his combination of unexpected, but compelling, anecdotes and insights. Inviting God In has a lot to teach all of us, about God and about ourselves.”
