And no one is more surprised than she is. Hurwitz was the quintessential lapsed Jew - until, at age thirty-six, after a tough break-up, she happened upon an advertisement for a beginner's class on Judaism. She attended on a whim, but was blown-away by what she found: beautiful rituals, helpful guidance on living an ethical life, conceptions of God beyond the judgy bearded man in the sky - none of which she had learned in Hebrew school or during the two synagogue services she grudgingly attended each year. That class led to a challenging, moving - and ultimately life-transforming - journey. Hurwitz visited the offices of rabbis, attended Jewish meditation retreats, sat at the Shabbat tables of Orthodox families, and read hundreds of books about Judaism--all in dogged pursuit of answers to her biggest life questions"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 296 Hu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 296 Hu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 296 Hu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 296 Hu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
