Guide
This book is dedicated to Shoshana, Amiella, Lev, and Maya.
You fill my heart with joy, blessings, and love.
In the years I have worked on this book, I have been blessed to have had so many wonderful people by my side. Though the process was long, it was undoubtedly worthwhile and spiritually edifying. I am grateful to my publisher, Changemakers Books, for providing me the opportunity to add my words and ideas to an esteemed catalogue of inspiring changemaking works. Its history as a leading publisher of inspired works leaves me humbled. I am truly grateful for everything Changemakers has done for me. Many thanks to the delightful (and insightful!) Tim Ward for being my guiding light at Changemakers.
Im so thankful for the diligent editing work of Abraham J. Frost, who spent countless hours editing drafts, offering constructive feedback, and providing support. Im also grateful to Suzanne Bring, who steadily added enormous insight with her contributions and editing acumen. Their assistance was invaluable as I wrote this book.
Most importantly, this book wouldnt have been possible without the everlasting love of my beautiful and brilliant wife Shoshana, and our wonderful children, Amiella, Meir Lev Kook (MLK), Maya Neshama, and Shay. Whenever I found myself in need of deep inspiration, I thought of my family. Thank you for all the joy and light you share with me on a daily basis. I love you.
Finally, I thank the Creatorthe One True Godfor giving me life, for giving me hope, and for giving me the ability to pursue a life of holiness.
