Serving as an Israeli military medic in the 1973 war, Jonathan Katzenelson experienced life’s impermanence, leading him to reject the conventional life his father wanted for him and ordain as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. For years, he’d lived a double life—dentist in the day, monk in the evening—until his father’s death freed him to live at a monastery, where he could finally fit in.
