Amichai Lau-Lavie First Aid for Spiritual Seekers
Forms of religious devotion are shifting \u2014 and there\u2019s a new world of creativity toward crafting spiritual life while exploring the depths of tradition. Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie is a fun and forceful embodiment of this evolution. Born into an eminent and ancient rabbinical lineage, as a young adult he moved away from religion towards storytelling, theater, and drag. Today he leads a pop-up synagogue in New York City that takes as its tagline \u201ceverybody-friendly, artist-driven, God-optional.\u201d It\u2019s not merely about spiritual community but about recovering the sacred and reinventing the very meaning of \u201cwe.\u201d
