Don’t Forget to Call Home

“A Starr is born! Don’t Forget to Call Home is a book that offers both a window into the heart of its author and the heart of its reader! Beautifully crafted, original, and anchored in the wisdom of tradition, Rabbi Starr has provided us with a powerful new framework for contemporary theology and the transmission of values from generation to generation.”


—Elliot J. Cosgrove, rabbi, Park Avenue Synagogue





“Rabbi Aaron L. Starr has hit upon the heart of Judaism, even Christianity, in his bold declaration that God is on our side. Stop thinking God is a punisher who afflicts; God is a companion who upholds. We are here to inhabit that place of blessing, abundance, and possibility. Then, out of overflowing joy, we share this with the world. Mazel tov my teacher, for showing me how to preach the good news!”


—Chris Yaw, rector, St. David’s Episcopal Church





“Aaron Starr has created a book in which finding a personal relationship with God and finding God’s presence in our lives seems more than possible. It highlights God’s role as our Parent of all Parents with a parent’s relevant and meaningful expectations, requiring of us easily achievable honor and responsibilities, all in an approachable and engaging format.”


—Scott M. Nagel, senior rabbi, Congregation Beth Ahabah





“Aaron Starr has given us a beautiful way to understand God and God’s role in our modern lives. With keen insight and compelling warmth, he empowers us to act in godly ways and to feel God’s presence as we are doing so.”
