Synopsis

Formerly a URJ Press title.
Using the words of Genesis & Deuteronomy, the songs of the Psalmist, the instructions of Proverbs, and the wisdom of ancient and modern sages, Sacred Parenting guides readers to parent with spirituality, mindfulness, and partnership with God. Its methods are multifaceted, grounded in Jewish tradition, contemporary parenting best-practices, and real world experience. Sacred Parenting encourages readers as they adjust to their new lives as mothers and fathers, to the changes in their relationships with spouses, and to the vast and sometimes overwhelming flood of emotions parenthood brings. In addition to providing a spiritual outlook and practical guidance, Sacred Parenting invites readers to delve more deeply into Jewish living. The book contains a treasury of prayers for myriad occasions, an accessible explanation of Jewish holidays and milestones, and suggestions for meaningful, age-appropriate observance of Jewish occasions.
