I Am the Tree of Life: My Jewish Yoga Book

2021 Sydney Taylor Picture Book Honor Award

“Groundbreaking” –Rabbinic Pastor Cantor Lisa Levine

The Torah is called the Tree of Life. Just as a tree is always growing and changing, the Torah's ideas can help us grow and change, too. Yoga can do the same. Both can help us strengthen ourselves, calm our minds, and learn to appreciate the world around us.

Written by rabbi and certified yoga instructor Mychal Copeland, I Am the Tree of Life encourages us to explore both the world of yoga and the stories of the Bible and find meaning in both.

Rabbi Mychal Copeland is the spiritual leader of Congregation Sha'ar Zahav in San Francisco. She is both a rabbi and a certified yoga instructor who fuses Jewish spirituality with movement through yoga. Mychal is passionate about leading people toward a profound spiritual life that embraces everything that they are. <i>I Am the Tree of Life</i> is her first children's book.
