After twenty-three years as a rabbi, I can think of no more defining human experience.\"\u003c\/i\u003e Life can be messy and imperfect. We're all looking for answers. And yet, as renowned rabbi Irwin Kula points out, the yearning for answers is no different now than it was in the times that gave rise to Moses, Buddha, and Jesus. Far from being a burden, however, these yearnings can themselves become a path to blessing, prompting questions and insights, resulting in new ways of being and believing. In this, his first book, Rabbi Kula takes us on an excursion into the depths of our desires, applying ancient Jewish tradition to seven of our most wonderful yearnings. Merging ancient wisdom with contemporary insights, Rabbi Kula shows how traditional practices can inform and enrich our own search for meaning. More importantly, he invites us to embrace the messiness and complexities of the human experience in order to fully embrace the endless and glorious project of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irwin Kula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1401301924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781401301927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyperion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.65h x 5.78w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Books for a Better Life - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 78","brand":"Irwin Kula","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123413512447,"sku":"9781401301927","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef05d3c7-f2a4-4dcb-909a-12ab42800579.jpg?v=1687430752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yearnings-irwin-kula-9781401301927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
