Open Secrets
“. . . a rare jewel, a powerhouse of spiritual wisdom that you can read and reread.”—Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. author of A Woman’s Journey to God and Seven Paths to God “[Open Secrets] invites us into the most intimate of settings, the whispered wisdom passed from an authentic Hasidic master to his student. It radiates warmth, passion for the divine, and earthy confidence in sacredness. A treasure for the spiritual seeker of any tradition.” —Judith Simmer-Brown, Naropa University, author of Dakini’s Warm Breath “Open Secrets is my favorite way to introduce readers to the essence and depth of Judaism.”—Bo Lozoff, author and founder of the Human Kindness Foundation “A maste...
Wisdom of the Jewish Sages
Advice for those seeking to deepen and build their relationship with God.
Accidental Grace
Spiritual teacher, writer, rabbi and poet, Rami Shapiro has taught thousands of people in workshops across North America for a quarter century. His books have sold in the hundreds of thousands. But before he did any of those things he was writing poems, prayers, and psalms that were anthologized in the Jewish siddurim of different denominations. Now, those spiritual teachings have been gathered together, incorporating all of Rami's poetic work over the course of his long and varied career. The result is startling—as if we've discovered a new spiritual teacher of great importance, in verse.
Rabbi Rami Guide to Forgiveness
Most books on ethics and morality view forgiveness as a way to escape suffering, as if anger or hatredwere something to brush off with the breezy words "I forgive you." Rabbi Rami sees forgiveness differently because he understands the trickster nature of the self. In his Guide to Forgiveness, he'll help you to stop identifying with the slights and grudges borne against you so that forgiveness can begin to happen naturally.
Holy Rascals
God is real. Everything we say about God is made up. Holy Rascals is a rousing call to anyone ready to go beyond “isms” and ideologies, and live in the world as a liberating force of justice, compassion, and joy. “Holy rascals are spiritual culture jammers who use humor, play, creativity, and critical thinking to reveal the human origins of religions—and how religions mask their true origins behind the conceit of divine origins,” writes Rabbi Rami. Here, he illuminates: • The making of a holy rascal and the great task of “freeing religion from the parochial and for the perennial” • The art of “hacking the holy,” or pulling back the curtain on religion’s fear-based mec...
Ecclesiastes
"A timeless teaching on living wisely in the midst of uncertainty and insecurity, with facing-page commentary that brings the text to life."--Cover.
Hasidic Tales
The Tales of the Hasidic Masters Can Become a Companion for Your Own Spiritual Journey. "The wisdom of the Hasidim is earthy, realistic, rooted in the simplicity of the heart. It is alive with the awareness of the holiness of Creation and the boundlessness of God's mercy, and is utterly honest about the necessity of living such awareness in loving service to all beings. It is a wisdom that fuses the highest mystical initiations with the most down-home celebration of life and a rugged commitment to social and political justice in all its forms. In other words, it is a wisdom that is never, as my old prep school headmaster would put it, "too divine to be of any earthly use." --from the Forewor...
The Sacred Art of Lovingkindness
Open your heart and mind and discover—through the sacred art of lovingkindness—the image and likeness of God in yourself and others. "The question at the heart of this book is this: Will you engage this moment with kindness or with cruelty, with love or with fear, with generosity or scarcity, with a joyous heart or an embittered one? This is your choice and no one can make it for you.... Heaven and hell are both inside of you. It is your choice that determines just where you reside.” —from the Introduction We are all born in the image of God, but living out the likeness of God is a choice. This inspiring, practical guidebook provides you with the tools you need to realize the divinit...
Rabbi Rami Guide to Psalm 23
Psalm twenty-three is the psalm for the ages; we shall not want for a better reminder that God is near. This is the psalm that speaks about God and to God, God as an idea and God as presence. When we are grieving, no prayer provides a similar measure of comfort and hope
Amazing Chesed
The question isn't whether grace - God's love freely given - is there for you in Judaism.The question is, do you have the courage to accept it?Ask almost any Jew whether grace is a central concept in Judaism and an essential element in living Jewishly, and, chances are, their answer will be ''no.'' But that's the wrong answer. This fascinating foray into God's love freely given offers the reader a way to answer that question in the affirmative.Drawing from ancient and contemporary, traditional and non - traditional Jewish wisdom, this book reclaims the idea of grace in Judaism in three ways: It offers a view of God that helps the reader understand what grace is, why grace is, and how grace manifests in the world. It sets forth a reading of Judaism that is grace - filled: an understanding of creation, Shabbat and other Jewish practices from a grace - filled perspective. It challenges the reader to be embraced and transformed by grace, and to live life as a vehicle for God's grace, thereby fulfilling the promise of being created in God's image and likeness.
