520    "From one of our country's most prominent rabbis, an 
       inspiring book about the power of community based on one 
       of her most impactful sermons. In 2013, Rabbi Sharon Brous
       gave a sermon in which she preached the need-in an era 
       riven by loneliness, social alienation, polarization, and 
       ideological extremism-to reclaim the simple act of showing
       up for one another. That day marked the beginning of an 
       essential change in the community. Based on that original 
       sermon, The Amen Effect dives into our fundamental human 
       longing for connection-in our most intimate relationships,
       in our community, with strangers, perhaps with God. Faith 
       and ritual are powerful vehicles for this kind of 
       connection, but so is simply reaching out, showing up, 
       being present when others need us most. These are the ways
       that we reawaken to one another's humanity, and to our 
       own. Brous argues that connection and kinship in times of 
       sorrow and celebration not only give our lives meaning, 
       but can help us establish the foundation for a more just 
       and loving society. Drawn from ancient Jewish wisdom, 
       contemporary social science, and Rabbi Brous's twenty 
       years of pastoring to a leading-edge faith community, The 
       Amen Effect argues that human connection is the very heart
       of life itself, and has the power to transform the way we 
       think, feel, and live"--|cProvided by publisher.
