KUOW Presents: Finding Transcendence at Green Lake

04/18/2009
There’s little mystery in what the body needs. Hunger, fatigue, and pain, for example, are clear signs of privation that help us survive. But many people feel a longing for something that goes beyond the needs of the body — something Rabbi Daniel Weiner calls transcendence. In his work, he meets a lot of people who aren’t religious, but they still want a modern way to talk about spirituality. Rabbi Weiner is the author of the book “Good God: Faith for the Rest of Us.” KUOW’s Jeremy Richards recently met with Rabbi Weiner at Seattle’s Green Lake park to see what transcendence looks like in the modern world.
