Jewish Life
Why me? Suffering is a universal experience that each of us bears in our own particular way. Whether caused by our own illness, or through the pain of those we love, we all search for ways to heal from times that try our strength. In this inspiring guide, Rabbi Kerry Olitzky combines the wisdom of Jewish tradition and insight from his own personal experience and experience dealing with the illness and pain of other people—including those he loves—to show us how healing the soul is indispensable to healing the body. Each chapter helps us on our journey to wholeness, fortifying us with insights, prayers, psalms, meditations and rituals that can help restore and strengthen our spirit. Olitzky explores: What Judaism teaches us about healing. Finding the meaning of illness in Jewish tradition. How to draw on prayers, services, psalms, and other spiritual resources for healing. How to grow by fully embracing the process of recovery. By helping us to initiate a dialogue with God, this comforting resource leads us to ways to find healing in our everyday lives. It also shows us how to find, in these very experiences that might cause us to question our faith, a spiritual wholeness that will enrich every aspect of our lives.
