Jewish Wisdom for Growing Older - Finding Your Grit and Grace Beyond Midlife (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Perspective, inspiration and direction for living fully and well as you age.Whether you are fifty-five or seventy-five, growing older brings you into uncharted terrain. Unprecedented longevity brings remarkable opportunities but also wrenching difficulties. With any luck, you will have ample time to reinvent yourself, finish unfinished business and have adventures. But you will also inevitably face loss, change and limits. Our contemporary culture is filled with the dread of aging and so offers us few clues to living fully and well as we age. How will you find your way to grow, make meaning and flourish amid such daunting challenges?Rabbi Dayle A. Friedman, a pioneer in reinventing and revaluing aging, mines ancient Jewish wisdom for values, tools and precedents to frame your new callings and beginnings, shifting family roles, and your experiences of illness and death. She shows that Jewish tradition has for millennia approached aging with a healthy combination of reverence and realism. Its practices, narratives and norms offer inspiration and guidance to help seekers of all faiths find radiance and resilience as they grow older.
