Book overview

There Is Another Way is a collection of poems, reflections, meditations and Jewish teachings - woven together into a practice of awareness and moral courage. Sheila Weinberg shows us that Judaism and mindfulness equip us with compassion and awareness- not by protecting us from pain but by teaching us how to feel it fully without going numb. The book offers a path which is neither enraged nor numb, but rather an open heart inside the wound. It teaches us to be present, to breathe without looking away, to choose compassion over hardening and to see each other as human images of the Divine. As a non-Jew and a Palestinian, I found this book profoundly inspiring and creative. It does not ask me to abandon my pain, but it reminds me of our shared humanity, our shared breath and the simple radical possibility of loving all God's creation.

-Dr. Samah Elhajibrahim, PhD, Palestinian scholar and peace activist

 

You will read this book many times, as I did, letting its heart-wrenching message of compassion for all living beings sustain your own commitment to kindness.

Author of "Pay Attention for Goodness' Sake" and "That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist".
