Rabbi David Silverstein in Jewish Law as a Journey: Finding Meaning in Daily Jewish Practice makes
a gentle and persuasive case that Orthodox Jewish practice is an excellent
avenue of approach in growing closer to HaShem (God).
Silverstein takes different topics, like
morning prayers or wearing teffilin, and provides multiple reasons why the
practice(s) draw us closer to God. This
is a great approach, for in Judaism, practice is multi-layered and seldom
performed for one reason.
Using both ancient and modern sources, Silverstein is a kind
and informed voice in an often shrill world orthodox dos and don’ts.
