Description
We all seek relevance. Without it, life can feel aimless and unfulfilling. Instead of living with purpose, we feel as if we merely go through the motions. Relationships seem static, and life loses its vitality.
In a world of constant change, where can we find true, lasting significance? The Torah—our Divine guide to spiritual and personal growth—meets us where we are. Based on the weekly parashah, this sefer provides thought-provoking insights tailored to today’s challenges and offers actionable, transformative steps for anyone striving to elevate their life. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or new to these ideas, Making It Relevant is a powerful and accessible guide to living with meaning.
“Warm, inviting, straightforward, and practical. The careful reader will be rewarded not only with a ‘good vort’ but with crucial lessons in how to grow as a Jew, an eved Hashem, and indeed as a good human being.”
Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz

I just got Katya’s book here in Israel, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect for my Rosh Hashanah resolutions. What I love is that at the end of each chapter she doesn’t just share ideas—she gives real, practical TOOLS to help us change. Chapters like ‘Victor, Not Victim’ (which do you really want to be anyway?), ‘Creating a Spiritual Calendar’, and ‘Dimensions of Darkness’ are not only thought-provoking, but immediately relevant to one’s life. Unlike so many books that simply ‘preach,’ this book actually guides you at the end of every chapter, step by step questions so you can grow from what you read. I’m so grateful I got it before the holiday—it’s exactly what I needed to help me become more of the person that I really want to be. Thank you, Katya Bolotin!

As a Beit Midrash teacher, I know how easy it is for Torah learning to remain in the realm of beautiful ideas without ever touching our daily lives. Making It Relevant is a true gift — a sefer that opens a doorway straight to the neshamah and allows Torah’s messages to influence how we think, speak, and live. It is powerful, practical, and, true to its name, genuinely relevant. A brilliant tool for anyone who wants their Torah study to make a real difference and bring learning back to its deepest purpose.

Making It Relevant by Katia Bolotin is a wake-up call for anyone wanting to live with purpose today. With warmth, insight, and practical guidance, Bolotin takes ancient Torah wisdom and makes it strikingly modern—showing how it can guide our choices, relationships, and daily challenges. Every parashah becomes a mirror, reflecting lessons you can use immediately. Thoughtful, inspiring, and utterly readable, this book doesn’t just teach—it transforms. I’m so glad I purchased it as it’s helped to elevate my thinking for the upcoming year.

Making it Relevant is a practical application of Torah wisdom that anyone can relate to and understand. This brings ideas that might seem too lofty to a place of access and attainability. I am so excited to be able to apply the concepts to my daily life.
