Irwin Kula is not your typical rabbi. Known as both a provocative religious leader and a respected spiritual iconoclast, he has inspired thousands nationwide using Jewish wisdom in ways that speak to folks in all walks of modern life.
As a renowned thinker, teacher, rabbi, author and leader of religious pluralism, Kula says that the "Freedom and openness of America invites us to bring our traditions to the marketplace of ideas. The challenge is to translate these wisdoms into accessible American idioms that inspire and improve our personal and public lives."
Kula was ranked two years in a row (no. 8, and no. 7, respectively) in the "Top 50 Rabbis in America," in Newsweek and in 2004, he wrote and was featured in Time for a New God, an acclaimed documentary that was filmed as a moving monologue along the beaches, wharves, and roller coasters of Coney Island. He offers religion as a "giant tool box" for personal and social transformation.
He has worked with such luminaries as the Dalai Lama and Queen Noor on compassionate leadership, and has traveled and taught Jewish wisdom in places as diverse as France, Italy, Bhutan, and Rwanda.
He is co-host of Hirschfield and Kula: Intelligent Talk Radio and author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life.
