    Craig,

    Rabbi David Cooper is Jewish, and deeply into Buddhism.

    God is verb is a wonderful book, in my opinion.

    Judaism certainly has a place in my heart.

    I wish there were more like him.

    Ah well, in time perhaps.

    Shalom for now.

    :)

    Jason

    Ginsberg was a socialist............I am also a big fan. I guess you have seen Good Will Hunting. The movie got two Oscar's I believe.
    There a great line "Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself".

    I actually haven't seen Good Will Hunting, but I might have to.

    Ginsberg and Sammy Davis, Jr.: great role models. One, a gay, Buddhist Jew; the other a one-eyed, black Jew. Both consummate artists.

    In a town a little way away from where I am now, is one of Ginsberg's chairs. Just a plain chair that he used to sit in. Interesting though.
