Leave your loved ones a legacy of blessings, wisdom, gratitude and hope.
Done right, an ethical will is a gift of love, a way of saying, 'This is what I found gave me satisfaction and gave my life meaning. It animated my relationship to you and to your mother (or father). May it do the same for you. I send this to you with much love.' --from the Foreword by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
Ethical wills are precious spiritual documents, windows into the souls of those who write them, and are often a treasured part of a family's history. These "legacy letters" sum up what you have learned in life, and what you want most for, and from, your loved ones.
This book--a unique combination of "what is" and "how to"--offers a step-by-step process to help you prepare an ethical will of your own, and provides a wide range of contemporary ethical wills to help you do it. It reveals the ongoing relevance of this traditional Jewish practice for people of all faiths, all backgrounds.
The emotional power of the nearly one hundred last letters collected here, written by both famous and ordinary Jewish people, will inspire you to live more fully now, and to record your own blessings for the generations to come.
"Rabbi Riemer offers us the kind of wisdom that we need in order to survive and thrive," writes Dr. Bernie Siegel, best-selling author of a dozen books about spirituality and healing. The late Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel adds, "Jack Riemer's words are songs of hope and faith. Listen to them as I do."
Widely sought after as a master storyteller and teacher, Riemer is one of the most frequently quoted rabbis in the U.S. That's because of the winding paths he takes in describing the relevance of timeless Jewish wisdom in our modern world.
What do a professional baseball player, Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry box, a hurricane, a garbage dump and a blue blazer hanging in your closet have to do with each other? They're all turning points in Riemer's stories that lead us toward universal questions we all confront at some point in life, including:
Is there a dream that gives meaning to your life? What are our duties to the people we love? How do you make a decision when you're caught between two conflicting values? And, what would you do if you found out that your time on this earth was almost up?
Reflecting on Riemer's wisdom about life, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor writes that the rabbi "is obviously a person with much understanding of the human situation."
Word of warning: The stories in this book may surprise you and perhaps make you chuckle, but they could change your life, as well.
