Now that the Jewish holidays are over, we go back to our regular lives.  How can we take what we were inundated with over the Jewish holiday period and integrate it into our everyday lives?  In Jewish Law as Rebellion Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo writes:

Religion is a protest against taking life for granted.  There are no insignificant phenomena or deeds in this world, and it is through Judaism’s demands and far-reaching interference in our daily life that we are made aware of God as our steadfast Companion. (320)
