Growing Into Your Soul

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a cosmic event marking each person's unique and beautiful transition from child to adult. It is the time for young people in the Jewish community to stand up before their loving family and friends and embrace their identity, their faith, and their future. This thought-provoking book-a debut collection of more than thirty original poems and reflections by Rabbi Larry Tabick-celebrates and commemorates this momentous occasion. Each piece offers uplifting perspective about matters that affect all aspects of life, from family and school to spiritual faith and identity. Gloriously illustrated, Growing into Your Soul covers the main holy days of the calendar and also examines the entire cycle of life's experience.
