  1. Rabbi Ariel Ben Moshe

    Don’t miss out on the book that will change your Corona-sized wedding into a blockbuster of meaning! Read this beautiful book together with your partner and feel inspired by the marriage ceremony, deeply present for one another and eager for the years to come. I love this book!

  2. Ashirah Firszt

    Jewish Marriage by David Lester is a valuable guide to couples preparing for marriage. It has the potential to gift the couple with a greater understanding of the deep significance of each stage of the ceremony (even amidst the busyness of wedding planning), and by doing so, helping the couple to be truly present for each other and for themselves during the wedding. This is important at all times, but how much more so now at a time when couples are faced with such limitations on the size of their wedding celebrations due to COVID-19. Moving beyond the wedding, the wisdom in this book offers the couple a practical guide to their first year of marriage that addresses the subtle, and perhaps unexpected, issues that inevitably arise as they adjust to married life, and to each other. Lester’s practical guidance is reinforced by setting his advice into a spiritual context with understanding rooted in his own life experiences. Jewish Marriage by David Lester, thoughtfully read and applied, can easily become a cornerstone in the foundation of an enduring and happy married life. I would recommend this book to both couples preparing for marriage and to therapists, counselors and rabbis who provide support and advice to such couples. The book is an excellent gift, a wise personal purchase, and a book that professionals will be able to recommend to couples with confidence.

    This is an important work, a profound and sensitive
    treatment of the foundations of family.
