What is the point of doing anything, creating anything, accomplishing anything, caring about anything or anyone if our stay in this world is of such short duration? Based on the author’s true, poignant, day-to-day experiences as Jewish Chaplain of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Seven Heavens presents a philosophy of life that helps answer this all-encompassing question.

Rabbi Meier defines the fears and hopes that engulf us when we are faced with the specter of our own mortality, and, through a series of evolving dialogues, inspires us to the point where we can confront and overcome those fears as we move forward to fulfill our personal hopes and goals.

Seven Heavens sheds light on some of the most esoteric and mystical concepts of the next life – Angels, Heaven, the Soul – using clear, lucid terms and images. At the same time, Rabbi Meier deals with the down-to-earth problems of preparing for the death of a loved one, dying with dignity, and feeling left behind in this world.
