Zen Judaism: For You, a Little Enlightenment

You should read this book. Yes, you. You know who I mean. YOU. ;-)

Ever get a message called "Jewish Zen" with lines like "If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?" or "Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story." They're all taken from this book. It's a lovely little item, which I highly recommend.

This is s great book. I laughed out loud throughout reading it and enjoyed every one of the Haikus.

As a Jewish person who has explored Buddhism (one of many, I know), I just want to comment that this book captures all that is appealing and funny about Judaism and Zen. It's hilarious and very well-done. (The drawing of the little bird wearing a yarmalka is adorable.) You will learn a little and laugh a lot.

Have you read Haikus for Jews? It is one of the funniest and cleverest books I have read in a long time. Zen Judaism is just as funny and just as clever! And I am not a regular "Jewish humor" customer by any means. I just bought it yesterday and have already reccomended it over and over again. It is perfect subway/bus reading, dinner party conversation (although I'd be careful you don't read it aloud when your guests are eating - they might choke from laughing and eating at the same time), or 'just in the mood to laugh' reading. It is well worth the price - and more! You'll love it!
