INTEGRATING THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE IN THE SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS OF JUDAISM AND VENDANTA

The rabbi here is a funny guy with a pocket full of jokes and one-liners about the age-old differences between men and women. He and Chopra also make the point, Chopra more eloquently and seriously, that these differences are the basis for the magic that romantic love can bring to a person's life. With references to the myths and doctrines of both religious traditions, the speakers draw their audience across time and cultures to describe how men and women approach life. Though both men are scholars with deep wells of knowledge, the program's format makes them come across like talk-show hosts. This approach works fine if what you want is an entertaining introduction to this aspect of spiritual growth. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
