Human life is made up of a series of journeys, and every stage is an experience and purpose in the long history of life's challenges. But there are two journeys every person must undertake, a physical and a spiritual one; and whilst the physical one is essential there is also need for a spiritual one. The Torah as a guide enables us to attain both ends. To be a Jew is to be on a journey and as a people we have never stood still. Judaism teaches that life is one long journey through time, and each movement and stoppage serves a higher purpose and better future. In his role as rabbi and educator, Rabbi Simon S. Silas places great emphasis on Jewish learning and Torah values and in this edited version of 'Sermons and Articles' delivered over the years to Sephardi congregations in North West London, Rabbi Silas has quoted a treasury of statements from the Bible, Talmud, Midrash and Rabbinic literature in the belief that their ethical and spiritual themes offer wise counsel in our role as being the eternal people of God. As he comments: 'Life's Journeys has been a labour of love. I hope that this work, filled with the wisdom of Scripture and Rabbinic commentaries, will inspire readers to a deeper understanding of our faith in God and direct them to face the challenges in "life's journeys".'
