The Surfing Rabbi and the Long, Long Run

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Nachum Shifren , known to LA longboarders as "the surfing rabbi" argues that the discipline and self-abnegation of surfing are analogous to the requirements of orthodox Judaism. His story is paralleled by those of followers of the mystic Sri Chinmoy who believe that a path to enlightenment is achieved by running huge distances in "self-transcendence" races.
