Often life does not give us what we want. More often it does not give us what we deserve. There is too much death, betrayal and corruption. there is not enough love, hapiness and hope. Staying sane in a crazy world is not easy.It requires a special kind of human ingenuity and determination. Sherwin T. Wine develops the ten steps to sanity. Along the way he answers fundamental questions of life. This is a fresh and somewhat outrageous new approach to the search for meaning in life.

More than half the people in the Western world lead non-- religious, secular lives. And many of these non-- religious people are seeking spirituality. Can you have spirituality without being religious? Can you have spirituality and still be rational? Is there an ethical dimension to spirituality? Do beauty and the arts fit into spirituality? Are science and spirituality in conflict? Can we learn from the mysticism of the past? Do Zionism and Israel have a spiritual dimension? Is spiritual the best word we can find for the experience? Can secular spirituality enrich my life? The International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism's 2001 conference explored the relevance of secular spirituality, its roots, progression over time, and expression in the arts, literature and science. This volume offers the collected proceedings of the conference. Included are presentations by noted author Andre Aciman; Rabbi Sherwin Wine, founder of the Humanistic Judaism movement; Yaakov Malkin, founder of the first Jewish community center in Israel, and other scholars.

The Jews are a fascinating people, both to themselves and to everyone else. The Jews are a paradigm of what will happen to most nations and ethnic groups with a long-run exposure to urban global culture. They are an irresistibly global people, a vanguard for the global world. This book dramatizes the transformation of the Jews from a nation dominated by religion to a people overwhelmingly secularized. It is especially interesting because it finds the major contribution of the Jews not in ancient prophets but in modern atheistic intellectuals. In reaction to the Religious Right and Muslim fundamentalism, there is a widespread interest in atheism and secularism. The story of the Jews is a dramatic example of the success of secularism. The militancy of a revived Jewish Orthodoxy is a tribute to this success. For the skeptics of the Biblical and traditional story of the Jews and they are legion this book is a compelling and easily readable alternative history, the culmination of a lifetime of study and insight by one of the most provocative rabbis in Jewish history.
