In Opening Your Heart with Psalm 27, Rabbi Debra Robbins does more than mine the richness of Psalm 27 with her heart. She meditates upon it with her mind and her soul as well. In so doing, she opens the very being of each reader who has the privilege to read and reflect upon her moving and meditative words. Her readings and insights touch the deepest levels of who each of us is as a person. Hers is a spiritual masterpiece that will prepare your spirit as you seek the call of the High Holiday season. --Rabbi David Ellenson, Chancellor Emeritus Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion For too many, the High Holy Days catch us unprepared, but with Rabbi Debra Robbins' inspired guidebook, Opening Your Heart with Psalm 27, we can explore our inner spiritual landscape so that we might awaken to more intentional lives of purpose and depth. She's a loving and wise guide, taking even a reluctant hand to walk the path of genuine spirituality. Just what the spiritual doctor prescribed.

--Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President, Union for Reform Judaism This original and rich work is an invitation to dive deeply into the themes of the High Holy Days. If you enter, you will have an inspiring teacher guiding you on a journey of sacred discovery. --Rabbi Sheila Peltz Weinberg, author of God Loves the Stranger, Founding teacher of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality Rabbi Robbins has written a deeply soulful book that opens us up--a few minutes each day--to Psalm 27's sources of light and mystery. It enables us in a season of forgiveness to realize ourselves more fully, to approach our failings more gently, and to love more wisely. Thank you. --Dr. Erica Brown, Associate Professor, Curriculum and Pedagogy George Washington School of Education and Human Development Director, Mayberg Center for Jewish Education and Leadership.
