In the Narrow Places

In   In the Narrow Places , Erica Brown,  one of the foremost Jewish educators of our time,  brings her extraordinary teaching skills to the subject of the Three Weeks, the period of mourning commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples. For each day of the Three Weeks, she presents a short, inspirational essay based on biblical texts followed by a kavana – a spiritual focus that involves reflection, imagination or action – to transform these somber days of remembrance into a period of introspection and spiritual growth. Alongside the traditional prophecies of doom and consolation traditionally read during the Three Weeks,  In the Narrow Places  offers a new process for rebuilding and a re-affirmation of hope.
