What obstacles must they overcome to find their way home?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaula Amann candidly probes these questions and more as she explores how secular and nominal Jews are blazing their own trails toward a vibrant, twenty-first-century Judaism. With the ear of a journalist and the heart of a seeker, Amann weaves a tapestry of human stories―of alienation, connection, spiritual detours, and unexpected portals into a life of faith. The people you meet in this engaging book will throw a fresh light on Jewish thought and practice. And their tales of personal transformation might just renew your relationship with Judaism―or send you off on your own Jewish journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTopics include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwerving In and Out of Other Faiths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTraditions That Chafe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Arts as a Portal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHealing Body and Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaking a Jewish Life That Works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e… And Many Others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1683361598\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781683361596\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Paula Amann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41811262243003,"sku":"9781683361596","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41811262275771,"sku":"9781580233170","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/81_lLJVZ0dL_mockup_v2_1633119967_bee96912-1ab2-490b-a00c-4a1bf6f1ff54.jpg?v=1790979467"}],"url":"https:\/\/turnerpublishing.com\/collections\/author-paula-amann.oembed","provider":"Turner Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
