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.
