📙Wisdom for the High Holidays - ‘The Amen Effect’ by R’ Sharon Brous

‘The Amen Effect’ is a short, emotionally intimate and deeply resonant book to join you on your journey through Elul and the High Holidays. The author, Rabbi Sharon Brous inquires what it means to build holy community, to walk with people through both their joys and their sorrows, and how we can add meaning and connection in this age of loneliness and polarization.
Basing her writing on a core text of the Mishnah where there is a sacred encounter between the brokenhearted and their community, Rabbi Brous writes eight chapters filled with wisdom and healing, plus corresponding spiritual exercises.
Addressing issues as wide-ranging as racial justice, Israel-Palestine, the loneliness epidemic, trauma loss and bereavement, the COVID-19 pandemic and all the more intimate crises of our lives, Rabbi Brous created a portal of humanity through which each one of us can step.
