Place your order for Rabbi Shefa's NEW book, Are We There Yet? Travel as a Spiritual Practice
“… it is possible to know that we are always there, arriving wholly in this moment, fully present in this step, alive to the miracle of the journey. We are there whenever we are awake.”
It's the perpetual question: Are we there yet? But impatience can cloud the real question: Where are we right now? Are We There Yet? shows a way to turn travel into a spiritual practice.
From the Gully to the Crossroads—walking, driving, flying—Rabbi Shefa Gold shares her experience and insight on travel and helps us reexamine our natural inclination to focus on our destinations—both physical and spiritual. Ride along with her on her many journeys—some mundane, some mysterious, and a few new miraculous—and discover the joy of what can happen when you stop worrying about there and focus on here.
Are We There Yet? lets you tap into the potential of each journey—starting with the first step.
Part memoir, part spiritual how-to, Are We There Yet? is the fourth book from Rabbi Shefa Gold, the author of Torah Journeys, In the Fever of Love, and The Magic of Hebrew Chant and the composer of several albums of Jewish liturgical music.
