<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rabbi Kula acknowledges that the yearning for spiritual answers now is no different than in ancient times. Merging ancient wisdom with contemporary insights, he shows how traditional and nontraditional practices can enrich the search for meaning.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award</br></br> Chosen as one of The 10 Best Spiritual Books of 2006 by <i>Spirituality and Health</i> magazine</br></br> Rabbi Irwin Kula explores desire in spiritual life. Rather than leading us astray, our longings are gateways to self discovery. Our yearnings, once understood, can lead us to discover an expansive vision of God or a wider reality. And when we embrace even our most painful or taboo desires, we can love more deeply and live more fully.</br></br> The Biblical authors wrote about characters who, rather than leading perfect lives, actually struggled with their longings for success, love, sex, and happiness. Through interpreting those stories and other spiritual traditions, as well as exploring his own desires and those of regular people, Rabbi Kula shows that The more we allow ourselves to unfold, the less likely we are to unravel. The more we dive into our desires, the more exquisite life becomes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"At a time when religion is too often associated with absolutism and extremism, Kula combines ancient Jewish teachings and contemporary insights to articulate a practical, spiritual path that embraces uncertainty, complexity and tolerance."<br><br>"Provocative, engaging and transforming, Yearnings is a shofar blast of a book that will open your eyes and stir you, inspiring you to break free of inertia and move forward in your spiritual evolution."<br><br>"This sagacious book will be a blessing to all who read its teachings on the value of spiritual yearning."<br><br>"This wonderful book does what so many like it fail to do: it embraces the magic of day-to-day living, the spirituality that can be found in our questions, our mistakes, our passions and our doubts. Life is indeed messy, but as Rabbi Irwin Kula shows us, sorting through it is what transforms us to higher ground, and there is wisdom in how the heart approaches what it yearns"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Rabbi Irwin Kula</strong> has appeared on <em>Oprah</em> and <em>Frontline</em> and serves as a consultant to corporate and family foundations, as well as to federations, synagogues, and agencies on issues of leadership and change.
