The December Project: An Extraordinary Rabbi and a Skeptical Seeker Confront Life`s Greatest Mystery

In 2009, New York Times bestselling author Sara Davidson was surprised by a call from Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, asking her to engage with him in what he called `The December Project.` At eighty-five, Reb Zalman wanted to teach people how to navigate the December of life and to help them `not freak out about dying.`

Davidson jumped at the chance. She feared that death would be a complete annihilation, while Reb Zalman felt certain that `something continues.` For two years, they met every Friday to discuss this and how getting `up close with mortality` quickens our ability to relish every day.

Woven through their talks are sketches from Reb Zalman`s life: escaping the Nazis; becoming an orthodox rabbi in the U.S.; landing in San Francisco during the sexual revolution; taking L.S.D. with Timothy Leary; befriending other faith leaders, including Thomas Merton and the Dalai Lama; and founding the Jewish Renewal movement.

During their time together, Davidson was nearly killed by a suicide bomb and Reb Zalman faced a steep decline in health. They created strategies to deal with pain and memory loss and found tools to cultivate fearlessness and joy—at any age. Davidson includes twelve exercises so readers can experience what she did, a sea change in facing what we all must face: mortality.
