Accidental Grace: Poetry, Prayers, and Psalms
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.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Accidental Grace reveals the Essential Rami!  Rami is at his  “freshest” in this book.  The soul of this Zen Rabbi poet soars as he interprets psalms,  and shares his poems and parable of Job. Rami’s creative fidelity to the Source is expressed in ways which infuse joy and enlightenment into the reader’s experiences of life.  Find your “essential self” in this Accidental Grace—Sr. Rosemarie Greco, DW, Wisdom House Retreat Center, Litchfield, CT.

Rami Shapiro is one of the best Jewish spiritual writers. His language is rich and uplifting without being saccharine or fluffy. Lush. Profound. —Lawrence Kushner is the Emanu-El Scholar at Congregation Emanu-El of San Francisco and author of Kabbalah: A Love Story

Zen Rabbi Rami is a true Holy Rascal. His poetry inspires and enlightens with ease and grace, providing food for the soul of all people, religious or not. I love this wise and beautiful book. —Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author

When one meets a True Seeker, one’s heart “skips a beat" like it did when we were teenagers in love for the first time. When I read these poems, my heart flutters, seeing the footprints that my Beloved has left for me to follow. —Krishna Das

“But am I a poet?” asks Zen rabbi Rami Shapiro in the introduction to this collection of psalms, poems and prayers.  Grounded in his native Jewish liturgy, wrestling with the eternal religion-transcending truths of what it means to be a human being, the answer to his question can only be a resounding “yes.”  I look forward to using his words in the context of progressive Christian worship. —Rev. Dr. Polly Moore, Editor of The Liturgy Project, progressivechristianity.org
