Mend the World Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg

How to nurture and bring our spiritual empowerment outward, to advance real social justice and global change

"Every spiritual tradition teaches that we are all deeply interconnected," reflects Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, "but when faced with the world's many injustices, we can be overwhelmed by anger, by grief, by a belief in our own inability to effect change. And so, we turn away."

But at the very heart of these difficult emotions lies the possibility to make a difference. Because when we turn toward our own grief and overwhelm, she offers, we invite a deeper spirituality--one that goes beyond our personal experience to a greater communal solidarity.

"We must make room for our painful feelings about the suffering that exists around us," says Ruttenberg, "but we can't stop there. And the good news is, while the work of finding our own unique role in a world in need of healing sometimes demands bravery, honesty, integrity, and truth, it is also powerful, joyful, and transformational."

In six compelling audio sessions, this acclaimed author and activist merges spiritual practice and social justice work to help us become more effective, connected, and resilient change makers--by openly encountering others and seeing their challenges, accessing our prophetic voice to speak truth to power, and taking action, while staying grounded in our spiritual selves.
