Publisher's Description
Join author Laura Duhan-Kaplan in the Kabbalah practice of Sefirat ha'Omer, a forty-nine-day program of spiritual reflection. Rabbi Laura weaves Kabbalah, philosophy, psychology, and her own experiences of love and loss into a series of daily reflections. She invites readers to explore the meaning of love, boundaries, beauty, endurance, gratitude, grounding, and presence. With a mix of stories and ideas, she helps readers find Shechinah, a divine archetypal mother, in the intimacy of ordinary life.

“Rabbi Laura makes me want to love the local, overlooked creatures, theology with question marks, my difficult neighbor, and even myself better. I rejoice to recommend a book so human as this.”
“Respected teacher and scholar Rabbi Laura Duhan-Kaplan shares with us a vulnerable and heartfelt exploration of counting the forty-nine days of the Omer between Pesach and Shavuot. The book is compelling, surprising, informative, and uplifting.”
“Bringing depth and freshness to centuries-old spiritual practice, Rabbi Laura has written a very readable and engaging contribution to the growing genre of Omer period guidebooks (though also beneficial year-round). Her command of so many disciplines and her consummate ability to teach renders the seemingly complicated relatable and relevant. The brilliant and instructive contemplations in this book can help open your mind and heart to the Shechinah.”
