註釋At midlife, a spiritually hungry author of self-help books leaves behind her professional life to enrol in divinity school and emerges unexpectedly reconnected to the Judaism she thought she had left behind. In this book Carol Matzkin Orsborn discusses her first year at divinity school, the year that transformed her life. In this spiritual book, the reader is invited to share the author's friendships with similarly searching students, her encounters with challenging and supportive professors and her first serious engagement with Jewish and Christian literatures. In a largely Christian environment, Osborn ironically discovers the hidden riches within her own tradition as well as her unconciously held prejudices and loyalties. Eventually, she finds her way back to the heart and soul of Judaism, but finds it is very different to the one she left behind.
