...featured on CNN this morning, 7-25, numerous Israelis flocking to India in search of Spiritual Awakenings. The story featured the often-seen still photo of the Beatles with MMY - as if to imply that a similar type of Renaissance is occurring. Of course, there are major differences overlooked by the writer, but we'll overlook those for now. Also featured were: tourists in front of a Rishikesh Temple, a Rabbi tour guide overlooking the milking of a cow to put his Kosher stamp of approval on the milk, a young Israeli woman in a bake shop trying her hand at rolling some dough. Also, some Israeli's in the presence of some Temple Pundits. The conclusion was that the tourists came back to Israel in some ways enriched Spiritually, (without leaving their own Jewish roots). Seems like a fine prospect to me, but if one wanted to enforce an extreme code of Conservatism on such persons; I supposed that one could zero on the things that separate Hindus from Jews, rather than unifying themes. Baba Ram Dass (Dr. Richard Alpert), called himself a "Hindjoo". Funny. Now for a quiz: 1. As evidence of her new found Spirituality, Paris Hilton was seen with which two books?
