To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrous contends that it is through honoring our most basic human instinct-- the yearning for real connection-- that we reawaken our shared humanity and begin to heal. This kind of sacred presence is captured by the word \u003ci\u003eamen, \u003c\/i\u003ea powerful ancient idea that we affirm the fullness of one another's experience by demonstrating, in body and word: \"I see you. You are not alone.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn acclaimed preacher and story-teller, Brous pairs heart-driven anecdotes from her experience building and pastoring to a leading-edge faith community over the past two decades with ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary science. The result is a clarion call: the sense of belonging engendered by our genuine presence is not only a social and biological need, but a moral and spiritual necessity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith original insights and practical tools, \u003ci\u003eThe Amen Effect\u003c\/i\u003e translates foundational ideas into simple practices that connect us to our better angels, offering a blueprint for a more meaningful life and a more connected and caring world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharon Brous\u003c\/b\u003e is the founding and senior rabbi of IKAR, a trail-blazing Jewish community based in Los Angeles.
