The Rosh Hashanah prayer service. So many hours. So many prayers. Here's one way to make them more meaningful to us. Twerski on Machzor Imagine having a wise, experienced, compassionate friend sitting next to you as you pray on Rosh Hashanah, quietly sharing insights and inspirational stories to help you get the most out of the prayer experience. You can. His name is Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski MD. And he's here with you, in Twerski on Machzor, to help you discover the depth and meaning of the Rosh Hashanah Machzor. Through stories and explanations, we begin to learn so many things about Rosh Hashanah and its prayers: How can we relate to Hashem as our King? As our Father? As both at the same time? Why does the word tefillah mean so much than merely a prayer? Why do we eat symbolic foods on Rosh Hashanah; aren't our prayers enough? What is the highest honor a person can attain? And why do we try to attain it on Rosh Hashanah? World-renowned psychiatrist, bestselling author, and beloved rav, Rabbi Dr. Twerski has been guiding us for decades. And now, with Twerski on Machzor, we can take him to synagogue with us on Rosh Hashanah, to ensure a meaningful prayer experience - and a very happy new year.

In Twerski on Machzor, bestselling and beloved author Rabbi Abraham Twerski, M.D., helps us make Yom Kippur and, particularly, the many hours spent in prayer on this awesome day, more meaningful and transformative. With his trademark blend of psychological insights, Torah perspectives, and uplifting stories, Rabbi Twerski encourages us to make the most of the opportunity afforded by Erev Yom Kippur and, of course, the prayers of Yom Kippur itself. From the hushed moments before the chazzan chants Kol Nidrei to the final shofar blast, Yom Kippur gives us a chance to begin anew, to improve ourselves, to look within, and to connect with our Creator. Twerski on Machzor will help us utilize every moment of this most sacred of days.

This is a time when "spirituality" is in, especially if it is of the do-it-yourself variety. Undoubtedly it is a backlash against the prevailing onslaught of hedonism and agnosticism. But spiritualism unguided by core values is hardly better than the alternative. In this book, Rabbi Dr. Twerski looks at dozens of topics in everyday life and peels away the veneer to find the potential for spiritual enrichment. He shows how to pour meaning into even seemingly mundane activities. To the person rooted in a rich system of values, there is no real vacuum in life; all the empty spaces can be filled with meaning. Twerski doesn't preach. He teaches by story, example, and experience. He is a writer who makes us smile as we think, who makes us wonder why we didn't think of that. Best of all, he makes us get up with chin up and shoulders straight, saying, "Adversity, I am stronger, smarter -- and more spiritual -- than you!" Dr. Twerski's earlier works, Living Each Day, Living Each Week, Growing Each Day,Smiling Each Day, I Am I, Self Improvement? -- I'm Jewish!, Mesillas Yesharim -- Lights Along the Way, Positive Parenting, Not Just Stories, Getting Up When You're Down and Dearer Than Life have established his position as a Torah scholar who possesses psychological insights that enhance application of Torah principles to everyday life.

Problems that require resolution from a Halachic perspective are not infrequent, and there is certainly no dearth of dilemmas that should be addressed from a psychological standpoint. However, many problems involve both - and, although much has been written on psychologic-halachic issues, there has been little, if any, example of practical application. Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., an eminent psychiatrist who is well versed in halachah, has broad experience in both realms, and in their combined applications. In this book, he makes available some of his case material demonstrating an integrated approach to these sometimes thorny issues. Dr. Twerski's lucid responses to questions on specific life situations provide guidelines that can be of much broader relevance. Because he is convinced that most life-adjustment difficulties are the result of a distorted self-perception, with consequent low self-esteem, Dr. Twerski has prefaced his responses with several chapters on the vital role of a personal identity - hence the title, I am I. More than a fascinating review of other people's difficulties and their solutions, this is a book filled with insights that will enlighten countless people about themselves and the world around them. It is an invaluable contribution to self-knowledge in the light of Torah and psychology. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., is a descendant of the founders of the Chassidic movement, whose philosophy he embraces and applies in his psychiatric practice. An ordained Rabbi, Dr. Twerski is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pitttsburgh School of Medicine and founder and Medical Director of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Pittsburgh, Pa. Dr. Twerski's earlier works, Living Each Day, Living Each Week, Growing Each Day, and Smiling Each Day, have established his position as a Torah scholar who possesses psychological insights that enhance application of Torah principles to everyday life.

Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski's powerful insights and skilled practicality once again come to the fore as he speaks to couples embarking on their first year of marriage.
