How to Be a Holy Rascal
Summary: Do you take spirituality into your own hands, bucking corporate religion in favor of finding your own path? Do you cross the boundary between religion and science or between religions themselves? Do you like a dose of humor with your Truth seeking? If you answered "yes," you're what we call a holy rascal! In How to Be a Holy Rascal, Rabbi Rami Shapiro will engage in frank, humorous discussions with his band of holy rascals. These essential conversations will address what it means to be a spiritual human being in the modern world. We want you to join in the conversation too! Rabbi Rami and his guests will take your questions and provide you with roadside assistance as you travel your own spiritual path. Join the conversation by tweeting, or posting on Facebook. You can also learn more about the Holy Rascals on our website. The ideas and opinions expressed on this program do not necessarily reflect the teachings of Unity.
