Journey to Your Ultimate Self: An Inspiring Gateway into Deeper Jewish Thought through the Lens of the Weekly Parashah
Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.

The Journey to your Ultimate Self: An Inspiring Gateway into Deeper Jewish Thought through the Lens of the Weekly Parashah (Mosaica Press, 2022), by Rabbi Shmuel Reichman
Reviewed by Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein (Rachack Review)
The title of this book truly gives away exactly what this book is really all about: It’s a self-help book based on the Parashah that offers inspiring ideas that can help a person achieve their true potential. The author presents quasi-Kabbalistic insights (largely based on the teachings of the late Rabbi Moshe Shapiro) along with practical advice to make the book a guide for self-betterment. Interspersed are grey boxes with interesting stories that really sharpen the author’s points and make them come alive more poignantly. The book bears rabbinic approbations from esteemed authorities like Rabbi Asher Weiss, Rabbi Michael Rosenzweig, and Rabbi Zev Leff.
The young author is already a well-travelled speaker who has established himself as a go-to person for inspiration and coaching. He founded the Self-Mastery Academy, an online self-development course (based on Torah principles and high-performance psychology). He also holds graduate degrees in Jewish Thought and Jewish Education from Yeshiva University, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology at University of Chicago. Like his venerated father Rabbi Dr. Edward Reichman, the younger Rabbi Reichman is also a recognized authority on Jewish medical ethics and has lectured on that topic internationally.

It’s definitely a book to be read many times over and I’m certain that every time I read it I will gain new insights and become inspired, empowered, and more connected to HaShem.
