Seeking spirituality doesn’t have to be somber. It can be joyous, and no one needs joy more than young people.I have written “Let’s Face It,” a book dedicated to the younger generations. Let’s face it, the world is a mess, and they will inherit that mess. Horace Mann once said, “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”
As I approach Yom Kippur, I give thanks for all the things in my life that fill me with gratitude. But I have much guilt when I think of the state of the world we are leaving our children. They have a hard job ahead of them, and they’re entitled to all the joy they can find.
My prayers are for my children, grandchildren, and all the young people of the world.
