If you're ready for a spiritual reset that's deep, joyful, and refreshingly real, Awesome Blast is your High Holiday companion.

WHAT IS AWESOME BLAST?

This isn't your typical Elul reader.

Awesome Blast takes you on a 40-day journey from Rosh Chodesh Elul to Yom Kippur, offering poetic reflections, grounded Torah wisdom, personal stories, and bold spiritual insights. Nili Salem writes with humor, heart, and holy chutzpah-guiding you through the teshuva process in a way that feels accessible and alive.

You'll explore:

The deeper meaning behind the Shofar and how it stirs the soul What it means to ""crown Hashem as King""-even when it feels vague How shame can be both a hiding place and a doorway to light Tools for emotional release, visualization, and connection A soulful lens on personal growth, prayer, and return

WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?

Awesome Blast was written for you.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:

Daily entries that are short, rich, and inspiring

A relatable voice that brings depth without preaching

Fresh insights grounded in Torah, psychology, and soul wisdom

A book that meets you where you are and invites you higher

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

""It's like a Torah study meets therapy meets spoken word.""

""Every entry felt like it was written just for me.""
