The first chapter of the book provides a summary of the various psychological therapeutic approaches that will be discussed in the book. The following chapters each contain a concept from modern psychological principles, reflected in the ancient wisdom of the traditions of the day. Through Slichot we discover the concept of “self as context,” or allowing ourselves to connect with the part of ourselves that is unchanging regardless of our experiences. The shofar will teach us to relate to our negative thoughts in a new way. We will learn to accept negative emotions through the viduy or “confession” of Yom Kippur. Finally, on Succot we will experience the value of mindful, goal-oriented action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rabbi Matis Shulman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47778460369134,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/1580\/2606\/files\/Reimagining-Repentance-Front-Cover-scaled.jpg?v=1774899716","url":"https:\/\/kodeshpress.com\/products\/reimagining-repentance","provider":"Kodesh Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
