This book shares a lived experience of loss, hope, meaning, and spiritual courage in Judaism. Pessah's book is rooted in honesty and compassion, emphasizing the need to meet life as it is--without denial--while cultivating meaning, connection, and joy.
All humans will experience trials, tribulations, or traumas, and Pessah tells the story of losing her twenty-year-old son to brain cancer. While some of us will have more intense challenges than others, there is no doubt that being human is hard, always. This book addresses this universal human condition from the perspective of Jewish spirituality.
Through Jewish texts and teachings, Rabbi Amy engages with the big questions--suffering, responsibility, purpose, and God--with depth, accessibility and emotional intelligence. Full of personal anecdote, as well as lessons learned from the lived experiences of others, The Wholeness of a Broken Heart honors brokenness as part of the human experience and helps the reader to find joy, meaning, purpose, and connection.
A spiritual seeker since childhood, Amy Grossblatt Pessah has sought both experiential and intellectual paths on her quest for a deeper understanding to life's most pressing questions such as "Why are we here?" and "What is our purpose?" Her journey includes receiving rabbinic ordination and a master's degree in Jewish education. Additionally, Amy is a trained spiritual director, energy healer, and has completed 400 hours of chaplaincy hospice training. She serves as a rabbi, author, and spiritual guide, working in various synagogues and Jewish institutions across South Florida and throughout the country. She lives in Boca Raton, FL.
