Watch How You Go : Jewish Wisdom for Your Journey Ahead

Watch How You Go… And Other Reminders for Your Life''s Journey is part memoir, part reflection, and part teaching, and wholly heartfelt. In it, Rabbi Rachel Ain draws on her experiences as both a rabbi and a mother, offering the wisdom she hopes to pass on to her children and, through them, to all seekers. She explores questions of the power and impact of faith and doubt, work and life, hope and meaning, time and land, and universalism and particularism in today’s complex world.

As a woman on the bimah, she has always brought her full self to both the synagogue and to her home when considering these issues. She is Rachel, Rabbi, and Mom; a complete person. She is the sum of all her parts, an authentic representation of all of these identities put together like a kaleidoscope where different parts of her emerge depending on which angle is being focused on.

Using both sacred texts and personal anecdotes, Rabbi Ain will lead readers through reflection that will help them examine their relationships, their spirituality, their celebrations and sadnesses, and their place in the world--and ultimately move through their own journey a manner that is both mindful and meaningful. Alongside the exploration of Jewish texts and traditions, her stories will create chances for people of all generations to talk to each other about issue, both timely and timeless, to talk to each other.
