Lawrence Kushner - The Rules of the Game - Program 4515

In his message, The Rules of the Game, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner explores the computer-based game as a metaphor for the "game of life." In his comparison he says that our religious traditions are the collected rules of the game and if you play by the rules, "you are rewarded with an understanding of why you are here; with what is otherwise known as the meaning of life." Rabbi Lawrence Kushner is a writer, teacher, and Scholar in Residence at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco, California. One of the most widely read authors on Jewish spiritual life, he brings his gifts as a storyteller and scholar to his role as a leader of personal and institutional renewal within Judaism. His numerous books, lectures and articles have helped define spiritual renewal for an entire generation. This archived 30 Good Minutes broadcast was first aired in January 2002.
