You Matter, Too! is a self-help book told through stories of people Rabbi Borovitz encountered when he was Chief Rabbi at Beit T’Shuvah Recovery Center in Los Angeles, as well as when he retired from there. Taking daily life examples, he shows how people can improve their lives using Jewish principles in their work lives, love lives, and in building community. Mostly told in conversation, with humor, You Matter, Too! brings religion down to earth and makes it practical and immediate. Rabbi Borovitz’ message is simple, but it ain’t easy; You matter. You have a holy soul. You are authentic. You have a purpose and must find it and live it. Do the next right thing, no matter what you feel. And when you don’t (which you won’t because you’re not perfect,) make T’shuvah. In other words: action amends. The author’s teachings and style of delivery have helped many lost souls return to wholeness, authenticity, community and a life of meaning and purpose. This book shows how Rabbi Borovitz makes this teaching true for every soul he works with, no matter what challenge each person is facing.
