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.
