In his message, The Rules of the Game, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner explores the computer-based game as a metaphor for the "game of life." In his comparison he says that our religious traditions are the collected rules of the game and if you play by the rules, "you are rewarded with an understanding of why you are here; with what is otherwise known as the meaning of life."
