Days Of Purpose Days Of Fulfillment

Book Summary

In Jewish tradition instructive stories and teachings of moral conduct, discipline and practice are called musar. In Days of Purpose - Days of Fulfillment, Cheryl Gunsher follows the musar tradition, sharing her personal stories of spiritual growth and development. The author's great, great grandfather, Rabbi Moshe Asher Boyarsky, was a magid, a preacher who used parables to elucidate Torah teachings. In following her great grandfather's footsteps, Cheryl creates vignettes of Jewish life centered around the Jewish life-cycle. These stories, these parables, are meant to put us on the path of spiritual healing and involve introspection, mediation, prayer, contemplation, forgiveness and repentance. They speak to what motivates us, what we dream about and what we yearn for. Most of all, perhaps, they speak of freedom, leaving the slavery of our negativity and attaching ourselves to our true spiritual natures, and to God.
