Finding meaning in the mundane is just a matter of knowing where to look. Herewith, the miraculous nature of everyday life is explored. Through vignettes at turns funny and poignant, Rabbi Leder points out those easily overlooked connections between everyday experiences and 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 roller coaster ride--become extraordinary when reexamined through Jewish eyes. Woven throughout Rabbi Leder's essays are midrashic texts, talmudic excerpts, and passages from the Torah, reflecting thousands of years of Jewish wisdom. Whether recalling a memorable walk along the beach with Dad, teaching a child the commandment of tzedakah, or stepping into the shoes of an anxious father-to-be as he paces the halls of the maternity ward, these stories reveal Judaism's power to illuminate our lives. On child-rearing: Eleven Suggestions for Raising a Mensch On the paradox of modern life: You can't put one tuchus in two chairs. On miracles: The miraculous is the common and the constant: birth, teaching, our breath. Discover The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things.

The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things
The more I read of this book, the less I liked the author. For one thing, I hate it when people whine about their lousy childhoods and what a crap job their parents did. If you're going to trash your parents, at least have the decency to change the names and turn it into a novel. Also, this woman didn't know what she wanted. It was obvious that her husband and his Orthdox lifestyle was wrong for her but she was so desperate to fit in that she was willing to change everything about herself. The same thing was true with her relationship with Sam. I kept wanting to tell her to grow a pair and not be so dependent on a man that she had to change her own identity. Having said that, Ms. Mann is a decent writer and her story was interesting enough that I wanted to keep reading. I just wish she had more kojones.
