While this book centers around the Jewish fall high holidays, the messages it sends to readers are important for all year round. The rabbi writes about self-introspection, family, guilt, forgiveness, purpose, and so much more. From setting goals to realizing failure to finding joy, readers will go on the incredibly uncomfortable but incredibly essential journey of Rosh Hashana to Sukkot. There are Hebrew terms in this book, but it is written in such a way that an lay reader can understand. Even non-Jewish readers can gain insight into themselves as they read this book and delve into a culture that stresses the importance of both the community and the individual. From broken marriages to ignored homeless people, no sour spot is ignored. Life is tough. This is real and you are completely unprepared.
