Join Rabbi Rami Shapiro for a bit of wisdom for the "spiritually independent." This workshop is for Jews and non-Jews alike, so invite your friends!

Based on his book Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent, a "bible" for this vast and growing social movement. It weaves sacred texts and teachings from the world’s major religions―Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and more―into a coherent exploration of the five core questions at the heart of every religion’s search:

• Who am I? • Where did I come from? • Where am I going? • How shall I live? • Why?
