DESCRIPTION:From penguinrandomhouse.com:\nFrom one of our country’s most 
 prominent rabbis\, an inspiring book about the power of community.\nThe Am
 en Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World by Rabbi Sha
 ron Brous\nIn a time of loneliness and isolation\, social rupture and alie
 nation\, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our socie
 ty?\n\nSharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the s
 piritual work of our time\, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural\, is 
 to find our way to one other in celebration\, in sorrow\, and in solidarit
 y. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain\, vulnerability an
 d possibility\, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build com
 munities of care. \n\nBrous contends that it is through honoring our most
  basic human instinct– the yearning for real connection– that we reawa
 ken our shared humanity and begin to heal. This kind of sacred presence i
 s captured by the word amen\, a powerful ancient idea that we affirm the
  fullness of one another’s experience by demonstrating\, in body and wor
 d: “I see you. You are not alone.” \n\nAn acclaimed preacher and stor
 y-teller\, Brous pairs heart-driven anecdotes from her experience building
  and pastoring to a leading-edge faith community over the past two decades
  with ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary science. The result is a clar
 ion call: the sense of belonging engendered by our genuine presence is no
 t only a social and biological need\, but a moral and spiritual necessity.
 \n\nWith original insights and practical tools\, The Amen Effect transla
 tes foundational ideas into simple practices that connect us to our better
  angels\, offering a blueprint for a more meaningful life and a more conne
 cted and caring world.\nRegister to receive a copy of the book. We look fo
 rward to this time together.\n
