As In Heaven So On Earth Vol. 1 (Standard)

Practical Hashkafa to Enhance Everyday Life - Based on Chumash

Our outlook on life necessarily colors our experience of it. Hashkafa, or the "Outlook" of Judaism, is a multifaceted, wide ranging yet definite way of looking at life.

And therefore mastering it can turn every experience - the beautiful and majestic, as well as the painful and the mundane - into a meaningful and/or joyful reaffirmation of simple existence.

This book will help both the intelligent beginner as well as the well-rounded scholar better master Jewish hashkafa. Designed to enhance the experience of everyday life, it is a tapestry of true life stories and penetrating textual analysis of the Chumash woven together into an eminently readable whole.

• Jewish personal development and spirituality
• Maintaining standards in corrupt surroundings
• Bitachon and faith in this day and age
