Krause: Hey waiter (2010)

Buy this book at Amazon or for Kindle

Sam (Simcha) Krause wrote a book by the title, “Hey Waiter…. There is a God in my soup! Learning Kabbalah through humor“. He explains the reason behind the book in this blog entry:

You might ask, “What’s a nice, serious subject like Kabbalah doing in a book like this?”  The answer lies in Kabbalah itself.  Laughter is an involuntary reflex that transcends reason and lifts us above our physical state, allowing for an unselfconscious connection with something beyond the self – God, for example.  A joyful person is open, available and willing to entertain concepts that don’t necessarily fit a logical paradigm.  So jokes can become vehicles through which we can contemplate the divine.

Arthur Kurzweil wrote a foreword combining personal accolades of the author and a Talmudic story. An excerpt of the book is also available. The book can be purchased at the site’s eStore starting mid August.
