Summary of Alan Lew's This Is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Judaism came into the world to announce that the invisible is more important than the visible. Beneath the appearance of conflict, multiplicity, and caprice there is a oneness, a singularity that is all-powerful and endlessly compassionate.

#2 The Jewish people annually reflect on the great journey that every human being must make across this world: from Tisha B’Av to Sukkot, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, from birth to death and back to renewal again.

#3 The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, which marks the start of the New Year, is never mentioned in the Torah. It is a day when we are supposed to remember God. The Jewish holiday of Yom Ha-Zikaron, which marked the start of the New Year in biblical times, was called the Day of Remembrance.

#4 The Day of the Blowing of the Horn for Remembrance is connected to Yom Ha-Kippurim, the Day of Atonement, which was the most important day of atonement in biblical times. It was a day when we began to see ourselves through the eyes of a consciousness beyond us.
