SOUL PURPOSE

In her quest to bring the timeless teachings of Pirkei Avot to a contemporary audience, acclaimed educator and speaker Ruchi Koval found profound resonance in the commentary of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. Inspired by his insights, she crafted Soul Purpose, a warm and accessible daily reader designed to speak to readers of all backgrounds, from novices to seasoned seekers of Jewish wisdom.

This compilation of 365 daily lessons invites readers to embark on a year-long journey of ethical growth and spiritual reflection. Each entry unpacks a teaching from Pirkei Avot, weaving together timeless values, actionable life lessons, and thoughtful guidance. With her signature down-to-earth style, Ruchi bridges ancient wisdom and modern relevance, helping readers connect with the profound truths of Torah in a practical and meaningful way.

Whether you’re exploring Jewish tradition for the first time or seeking to deepen your faith and understanding, Soul Purpose offers clarity, inspiration, and a roadmap for daily living. This book, as Rabbi Efrem Goldberg writes, “provides a profound and accessible way to enrich your daily life.”

Perfect for personal growth, group study, or as a meaningful gift, Soul Purpose transforms timeless teachings into a vibrant guide for life, empowering you to live each day with purpose and wisdom.
