The Special Times of the Jewish Year Can Be
a Framework for Your Life as a Couple
Through the holiday cycle we have seen that life is a complex
weave of light and darkness, bitter and sweet, striving and
surrendering. The twisted candle reminds us that as a couple our
two lives have become intertwined as one. Two souls enter a
partnership, interwoven yet always distinct, joined by a third
strand, the Divine Presence. As we perform the ritual of Havdalah,
we hold our hands up to the flame and catch the reflection of the
last light on our fingertips. We pray that the light will continue
to shine through our words and deeds, in our homes and in the
world. from Chapter 9
More than just calendar commitments, the Jewish holidays carry
with them a view of what is important in life, a set of assumptions
that can challenge and deepen the way we think about
relationships.
This inspiring and practical guidebook helps you to understand
your life as a couple in the context of the themes of Jewish
holidays ("Yom Kippur, Purim, Pesah, Sukkot, Shabbat"): Forgiving
and Growing Playing, Laughing and Taking Risks Coming Home, Finding
Freedom Blessing Bounty, Facing Impermanence Pausing to Bless What
Is and more
Drawing from ancient and contemporary texts, Jewish tradition
and personal stories, Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer and Rabbi Nancy H.
Wiener provide creative exercises, rituals and guided discussions
that help you make connections to tradition, community and each
other. By experiencing the Jewish holidays as times to focus on
your relationship, you ll find renewed meaning in these holy
celebrations and new opportunities for spiritual growth all year
long.
