The sense of the sacred is as critical to the human experience as any of the conventionally primary senses of touch, sound, and sight. In this traveler’s guide to spiritual practice, Milgrom and Elcott bring the reader to many paths that seekers of the sacred walk. What is the universal sevenfold path? Recognizing a spark of the divine; honoring the covenant with all living things; engaging in healing and growth; opening our lives to the divine presence; seeing where we are as a sacred place; seeking and pursuing justice; and taking time to enjoy a sabbath. They illuminate these paths through inspiring stories, both inherited and personal, drawn from a richly lived Jewish life and encounters with faith communities around the world. For while the universe emerged from one pinpoint of energy and life, it is only in its infinite diversity where God can be found. Indeed, “there is no place devoid of the Presence,” even in the everyday.
The Sevenfold Path is, above all, an invitation to a richer, fuller, and more joyful life.
Shira Milgrom served as Rabbi of the Congregation Kol Ami in White Plains for thirty-seven years and is the editor of a unique prayer book used in Jewish settings across the continent. David M. Elcott retired as the Taub Professor of Practice at NYU Wagner and works with Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison to teach classes to incarcerated individuals. He is the author of Faith, Nationalism and the Future of Liberal Democracy (2021) and A Sacred Journey (1995).
