A heartfelt account of how Rabbi Weinblatt confronts cancer after receiving this devastating diagnosis, this memoir traces his journey from beginning to end. It deals with his emotions, fears, and treatment and offers comfort, encouragement, and inspiration from a Jewish perspective. Using humor and coupling it with the wisdom of Jewish and Biblical sources as reflected in his sermons and other communications and writings, his words are a vehicle for sharing his experience and insights as he battles this disease.
God, Prayer, and Spirituality
A collection of Rabbi Weinblatt’s sermons; dealing mostly with topics of contemporary interest. He addresses timeless religious themes as well. For instance, in his sermon about God he establishes the rabbinic idea that each person perceives God differently and that we each have a personal relationship with God. In a sermon in the aftermath of the 2004 Asian tsunami, Weinblatt wrestles with Judaism’s effort to draw meaning from natural events, including disasters.
