These are the questions we dive into with my guest today, Rabbi Rami Shapiro. Rabbi Rami is an award-winning author of over three dozen books on religion and spirituality, such as Judaism Without Tribalism and Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent. He received his rabbinical ordination from the Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and a PH.D. in religion from Union Graduate School. Now, as a congregational rabbi for over two decades, Rabbi Rami is also a professor of religious studies, a rabbinic chaplain with the USAF, and the co-director of the One River Foundation. Plus, he’s a Contributing Editor at Spirituality and Health magazine, where he writes and hosts the magazine’s bi-weekly podcast, Spirituality & Health with Rabbi Rami.
In our conversation today, we explore why so many people are leaving organized religion, the distinction between religion and spirituality, the evolution of God and religion, and much more.
