"[F]or ethical teachings to carve a way into our hearts, we must study and practice them ... day after day after day," explains Rabbi Joseph Telushkin in the book's introduction. The book is structured as a daily guide to living, with scriptural lessons, meditations, and exercises covering topics ranging from "the first trait to look for in a spouse (Day 17)" to "how to change negative patterns of behavior (Day 150)." At the end of each week, Rabbi Telushkin provides a special Sabbath review of the prior six days' teachings, to ensure continuity among the book's many lessons. This simple, straightforward approach to religious and ethical teaching is an ancient and proven one. As Rabbi Telushkin points out, great teachers through the ages have always said that diligence is the beginning of virtue. (Consider, for instance, Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav: "If you are not going to be better tomorrow than you were today, then what need have you for tomorrow?") <I>--Michael Joseph Gross</I> 99756 22 2 2000 The Book of Jewish Values: A Day-by-Day Guide to Ethical Living total:24|5:11|4:10|3:3|2:0|1:0| 24 104 47 1 4 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 03 07:33:04 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 17 09:23:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 18 12:30:12 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 12:30:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 17:50:47 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 17:50:47 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Nov 03 19:48:43 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 19:48:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 19:05:49 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 19:05:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 05 19:17:42 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 19:23:51 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 19:17:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 10:45:32 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:45:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 21:45:17 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 22:39:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 31 13:31:38 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 13:31:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 29 22:57:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 22:57:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 19:03:48 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 19:12:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 07 21:13:32 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 21:52:06 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 20 12:35:05 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 12:35:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 11 11:31:55 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 11:31:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 07 05:18:20 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 05:18:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 08:03:34 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 08:03:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 11 13:48:24 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 13:48:29 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 21:14:43 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 13:36:35 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Dec 30 22:40:23 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 22:40:23 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 26 19:47:01 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 26 19:47:01 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=103468
