Blurb:
Don’t be afraid to come up to bat. You can’t hit if you don’t swing. Bat like no one’s watching. And, if you miss, do it again.
(“Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda) The same is true for Judaism. So many people — too many people — are afraid they aren’t “doing enough” or that they aren’t “doing it right.” But Rabbi Block will be the first to tell you that neither is the issue. All you have to do is, well, do. That’s what his new book, How to be Jewish in 30 Seconds, is all about.
