Alei Shur Companion and Guided Journal 1: Da'as Atzmeinu: עלי שור: דעת עצמינו

This Alei Shur Companion and Guided Journal is an incredible supplement to Sefer Alei Shur. Take a deep dive into your own world using the summaries and guided reflection prompts. This book will help support deep, internal transformation from the words of Rav Wolbe.

Self awareness. An elusive concept that can feel esoteric and beyond our reach. Yet, our level of depth of self understanding serves as the foundation and entry way into the world of true Avodah. Rav Wolbe’s Da’as Atzmeinu in Alei Shur serves as a guide and springboard into the vast inner world of…YOU.

However, learning the concepts alone does not always translate into a true experience of self awareness. In our world, we’re used to hearing a great Vort, learning inspiring ideas, and feeling moments of connection. But all too often, we close the sefer...and the learning leaves us. True integration and lasting transformation can feel elusive.

This companion serves as an opening—a doorway into honest inner work. A chance to really look at yourself with clarity and compassion. May it help guide you on the path of taking your unique inner world — your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and strengths — and integrating it with the timeless wisdom of the Torah, creating a deeply personal, authentic blend: a blend that reflects you and is offered wholeheartedly in Service of Hashem.

Rav Shlomo Wolbe’s הקדמה to עלי שור is a magnificent introduction into the incredible vision of a human being that the ספר is a guide to becoming. Passed down from his Rebbe, רב ירוחם ליוואוויץ, Rav Wolbe offers light posts along a very dark path, in a confusing world, of how to become worthy of the title ‘אדם’. The grandeur of a human being and our ability to transform beyond our wildest imaginations is the guiding vision of this Sefer.

Rav Wolbe’s goal was never to give us more ‘information’, but rather to lead us on an exciting journey of self ‘transformation' Transformation requires deep reflection and introspection. We wrote this companion to help guide you on the journey of deep exploration that the עלי שור opens before us. As you will see, main points will be focused on and a deep dive into your own internal world will be facilitated through reflection questions and journaling.
