Rabbi Irwin Kula
With rave reviews for his presentation at our 2007 East Coast Conference, Rabbi Irwin Kula will return for our 2008 event. A renowned thinker, a provocative religious leader and a respected spiritual iconoclast, Rabbi Irwin Kula is the author of the new book, Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life (Hyperion, September 2006), and was featured in a public television special in December 2006.

Kula has inspired thousands of people across the country using Jewish wisdom in ways that speak to modern life. A cutting edge scholar, teacher, and rabbi, he brings the insights of an ancient tradition to the challenges of the present to help people live more fully.

Named by both Fast Company magazine and "Religion and Ethics Newsweekly" (PBS) as one of the new leaders shaping the American spiritual landscape, Kula provides a broad vision of religious pluralism.   "The freedom and openness of America invites us to bring our traditions to the marketplace of ideas. The challenge is in translating these wisdoms into American idioms that are accessible to inspire and improve our personal and public lives."
