Book Synopsis

The spiritual tools you can use to infuse Jewish life cycle
ceremonies with meaning, integrity and joy.

Discover the spiritual meaning in Judaism's major life cycle moments. Understand, create and enter wholeheartedly into Jewish life cycle ceremonies, preparatory practice, and celebrations.

More than just how-to, Rabbi Goldie Milgram guides you in making your Jewish rites come alive with meaning, beauty and with lasting impact on you, your friends and family.

• Jewish Weddings, Traditional and Inclusive Rites
• Welcoming a New Baby and Raising a Healthy Jewish Child
• Meaningful, Memorable Adolescent and Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah
• Ritual Support for Many Stages of Adulthood
• Jewish Rituals for When Relationships End
• Jewish Approaches to Dying, Death, Burial, Mourning and Remembering
