Kerry Olitzky was named as one of the fifty leading rabbis in North America by Newsweek. He is executive director of the Jewish Outreach Institute and the author of many books on Jewish spirituality, healing, and Jewish religious practice.

Olitzky uses the secular and Jewish calendar in this daily devotional book to point out the blessings of life and the wisdom that comes to all those who practice everyday spirituality. We enjoyed reading this rabbi's insights into loving the stranger, finding wisdom, the path of holiness, helping God finish the world, doing what is right, standing tall, and choosing life.
