A refreshing look on traditions and rituals, Rabbi Yehoshua Grunstein cleverly takes the routine commandments and rituals in Judaism and explains how they can become more meaningful. Judaism is filled with strange commandments and rituals, such as shaking palm tree leaves on Sukkot or lighting candles to welcome the Sabbath. Rabbi Grunstein noticed that while many Jews know the "how," they do not understand the "why." Looking at rituals and commandments, Rabbi Grunstein answers questions that pertain to the fulfillment of each commandment. Beyond Routine: Turning Ritual into Meaningful Jewish Practice discusses questions such as: How is each custom significant? What emotions should one have while performing the commandment? How can a technical observance actually influence a person? It is the hope that through this book these observances will become more meaningful and influential, rather than just technical and distant acts.
