the teachings of Judaism. God and spirituality can be found in every aspect of
our daily routines. Ordinary things--a pet frog, a weekend fishing trip, a

Woven throughout Rabbi Leder's essays are midrashic texts,
talmudic excerpts, and passages from the Torah, reflecting thousands of years

reveal Judaism's power to illuminate our lives.
