Gateway to Judaism is
an engaging insider’s look
at the mindset, values, and
practices of Judaism in the
21st century. As a senior
lecturer and outreach expert
with Gateways Seminars,
Rabbi Becher has helped
thousands of people
reconnect with the beauty,
wisdom, and relevance of
their Jewish heritage. Often
asked to recommend “just one
book” that would explain the
essentials of Jewish life
and thought, he decided to
write it himself!
Delving beneath common
perceptions of Jewish
tradition, Rabbi Becher
presents fresh and
meaningful perspectives that
will educate and inspire
you. Among the many
intriguing topics he
addresses are:
-
Accessing the spiritual
dynamics of Jewish
traditions
-
What happens when
Saturday becomes
Shabbat
-
Kaddish and the
enduring connection
between generations
-
Is the ancient practice
of circumcision relevant
today?
-
The Passover Seder: From
family reunion to family
renewal
-
Why do traditional Jews
believe the Torah is a
timeless document?
-
Soul food - the kosher
connection
-
Is there life after this
life?
-
Jewish secrets to a
happy marriage and
family
Gateway to Judaism
reveals Judaism’s power to
