People cannot help but wonder about the miracle of life, what makes up the universe, and how we know that the universe exists. Science and the oldest religious and wisdom traditions surprisingly share many similar ideas about the answers to these fundamental questions. This interesting discussion with Rabbi David Ingber, Deepak Chopra, and Rabbi Ilan Ashkenazi around Judaism and Vedanta follows myriad paths to meaning.

Israeli rabbi and kabbalah teacher Ilan Ashkenazi can intellectually explain the workings of faith and religious practice, but it is in his role as artist and sculptor that he unravels spiritual mysteries through physical form. He emigrated to America in 2005 to focus solely on his sculpture, large pieces where shapes embody symbolism and spirituality. As a young man, Ashkenazi studied sculpture in Tel Aviv, then he chose a new career path. One of his largest projects to date is permanently installed at the Ellsworth Gallery in Santa Fe; a magnificent copper dragon perched on the gallery roof. Commissioned by gallery owner Barry Ellsworth, and installed in 2013, it was inspired by an articulated okimono, a three-foot-long armored dragon housed in the Tokyo National Museum.
