We all seek relevance. Without it, life can feel aimless and unfulfilling. Instead of living with purpose, we feel as if we merely go through the motions. Relationships seem static, and life loses its vitality.
In a world of constant change, where can we find true, lasting significance? The Torah—our Divine guide to spiritual and personal growth—meets us where we are. Based on the weekly parashah, this sefer provides thought-provoking insights tailored to today’s challenges and offers actionable, transformative steps for anyone striving to elevate their life. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or new to these ideas, Making It Relevant is a powerful and accessible guide to living with meaning.
Fine words, if you make the effort to internalize them and take them on board. The author is clearly a person who practices what she preaches. Abaout Katia Bolotin the book's website tells us this:
Katia Bolotin is a Torah educator, speaker, and writer who inspires Jews of all backgrounds. Her thought-provoking lectures and articles show the enduring relevance of Torah in a changing world. She focuses on personal growth rooted in Torah’s wisdom and practical ways to cultivate and sustain it. Katia is also a pianist, songwriter, and composer of contemporary classical music.
We have a copy of this book in our Beit Midrash library. Pick it up and you will find a parashah-by-parashah program of messages that are, as the author tells us, relevant to our daily lives. The message is clear -- and so is the book itself: good-sized print, no footnotes and written with intent to be understood. It's available on Amazon too.
