At thirteen, Danya Ruttenberg decided she was an atheist. As a young adult, she immersed herself in the rhinestonebedazzled wonderland of late 1990s San Franciscodrinking smuggled absinthe with wealthy geeks and plotting the revolution with feminist zinemakers. But she found herself yearning for something she would eventually call God.Surprised by God is a memoir of a young woman's spiritual awakening and eventual path to the rabbinate, a story of integrating life on the edge of the twentyfirst century into the discipline of traditional Judaism, without sacrificing either. It's also an unflinchingly honest guide to the kind of work that goes into developing a spiritual practiceand it shows why, perhaps, doing this in today's world requires more effort than ever.
