Journey Together

Offering a model of self improvement rooted in Jewish thought, Journey Together explains the mystical system of counting the Omer -- the Jewish practice of counting the days between the holidays of Passover and Shavuot -- focusing on a different attribute on each of the 49 days. Following the Sefirat HaOmer calendar, the author presents daily readings of inspirational stories from the Torah, Tanach, Talmud, and Midrash, as well as uplifting narratives from modern-day life. Each chapter concludes with exercises for both adults and children, in order to bring relevance to the attribute of the day and show how it can serve to improve one's character traits and family bonds. Self-transformation is possible in just 49 days through the mystical system of counting the Omer. Families who count together improve together.
