Book one, “A New Beginning,” immerses the reader in a Neolithic society where the established ways prove lacking when stressful weather plagues their existence. The story provides a glimpse into the lives of a primitive people as they unwittingly endure a geomagnetic pole reversal event that strains their reliance on spiritual dogma and communal lifestyle. The characters grow together to overcome political and personal conflicts that strain their convictions and beliefs. The tenuous existence of the tribe forms the backdrop for an epic action-adventure of love and obligation. A young warrior is thrust into the role of tribal leader when his adoptive father dies. The situation turns dire when severe weather forces him to take desperate actions that divide the tribe and cause him to move his followers to a mysterious, abandoned, temple. The daughter of the fallen leader matures into a formidable spiritual influence that tests the emotional commitment of the young chief and challenges him to understand the faith he is destined to bring to his people. The conflict wavers across tribal and emotional boundaries culminating in the birth of a ‘Golden Child’ foretold in their sacred writings.

Mussar is an illuminating, approachable, and highly practical set of teachings for cultivating personal growth and spiritual realization in the midst of day-to-day life. Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to this Jewish spiritual path, which until lately has been best known in the world of Orthodox Judaism. The core teaching of Mussar is that our deepest essence is inherently pure and holy, but this inner radiance is obscured by extremes of emotion, desire, and bad habits. Our work in life is to uncover the brilliant light of the soul. The Mussar masters developed transformative teachings and practices—some of which are contemplative, some of which focus on how we relate to others in daily life—to help us to heal and refine ourselves.

The three Shabbat meals offer an opportunity to think about life and connect with others.

Around the Shabbat Table addresses this problem. Its goal is to serve as a springboard for more personally stimulating and meaningful Shabbat conversations. Each unit can be read directly at the Shabbat table and no prior knowledge or preparation is necessary. The ideas presented are designed for Jewish adults of all backgrounds and religious denominations. They reflect a philosophy that the Torah belongs to and should be accessible to all Jews, whatever they think or believe, wherever they may be.
