The Mourner In Zion Comforted

Excerpt from The Mourner in Zion Comforted Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. The God of love has lavished on them all the riches of his grace, and furnished them with the noblest blessings and the most inexhaustible sources of consolation. For them he has delivered up his own Son to death, and provided a salvation containing all that a guilty immortal can need for his present safety and happiness, and for his future and everlasting welfare. For them an eternity of honour and delight is spreading its glory before them; and they are invited just now to enter into rest; and till they see him as he is, to walk in the light of his countenance, to go on their way re joicing, and abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost.

If your marriage must come to an end, do it the right way— with wisdom, practicality, and understanding. What does Judaism tell you about divorce? What guidance, strength, and insight can Judaism provide? In this first-of-its-kind handbook, Perry Netter—divorc, father, congregational rabbi, and pastoral counselor—shows how wholeness can be found in the midst of separation and divorce. With a title drawn from the words of the eleventh-century biblical commentator known as Rashi, Divorce Is a Mitzvah“/i> provides practical wisdom, information, and strength from a Jewish perspective for those experiencing the challenging life-transition of divorce. Drawing on wisdom from centuries of biblical and rabbinic teachings, as well as modern psychological research, Netter offers suggestions for transitioning through the stages of separation and building a new life. This indispensable guide for people in crisis—and the family members, friends, and counselors who interact with them—shows us how to transform a traumatic time of life into one of growth, right behavior, and greater spiritual understanding.
