✡️ About the Book
Twelve Jewish Steps to Recovery offers a compassionate, spiritually grounded path for healing from addiction — rooted in both the Twelve Steps and the timeless wisdom of Jewish tradition.
This groundbreaking guide bridges psychology, spirituality, and recovery through a distinctly Jewish lens, yet its message is universal. Drawing from Jewish scripture, theology, and lived experience, it reframes the Twelve Steps in a way that is accessible to people of all faiths who seek a deeper spiritual understanding of recovery.
Through the combined voices of a rabbi, a psychiatrist, and numerous recovering Jewish individuals, the book illuminates the process of recovery as both a spiritual journey and a return to wholeness. Each chapter integrates Twelve Step principles with Jewish teachings, stories, and prayers, creating a dialogue between psychology and faith that uplifts and heals.
🔯 Core Themes & Insights
