EP 39: Repairing the World with the Eternal Soul - A Conversation with Rabbi and Scholar Elie Kaplan Spitz

There is so much happening in the world right now. In today's episode I touch briefly upon some of the current events, and then we shift into an episode that was originally recorded in early May.

How can we move forward together, and how can we build bridges of peace?

Today's interview is a respite from the noise, and an opportunity to reflect and connect more deeply with what is timeless. Today's episode is about the eternal soul.

My guest is Rabbi Elie Kaplan Spitz, author of "Does the Soul Survive: A Jewish Journey to Belief in Afterlife, Past Lives & Living with Purpose," as well as "Healing from Despair: Choosing Wholeness in a Broken World," and "Increasing Wholeness: Jewish Wisdom & Guided Meditations to Strengthen & Calm Body, Heart, Mind & Spirit."

He served as a member of the Rabbinical Assembly Committee of Law and Standards (1994-2004; 2008-2016) and as a Global Justice Fellow for the American Jewish World Service (2016-2017). A graduate of The Jewish Theological Seminary and Boston University School of Law, Rabbi Spitz is the author of three books and many articles dealing with spirituality and Jewish law.  He has taught the philosophy of Jewish law at the American Jewish University and taught at the Wilkinson College, Religious Studies Department at Chapman University.  (from www.Cbi18.org)
