(From Zen Buddhist practitioner to rabbi, East meets West ...)
From Zen Buddhist practitioner to rabbi, East meets West in this firsthand account of a spiritual journey. Rabbi Alan Lew is known as the Zen Rabbi, a leader in the Jewish meditation movement who works to bring two ancient religious traditions into our everyday lives. One God Clapping is the story of his roundabout yet continuously provoking spiritual odyssey. It is also the story of the meeting between East and West in America, and the ways in which the encounter has transformed how all of us understand God and ourselves. Winner of the PEN / Joseph E. Miles Award Like a Zen parable or a Jewish folk tale, One God Clapping unfolds as a series of stories, each containing a moment of revelation or instruction that, while often unexpected, is never simple or contrived. One God Clapping, like the life of the remarkable Alan Lew himself, is a bold experiment in the integration of Eastern and Western ways of looking at and living in the world.

Fiction. Short Stories. Sherril Jaffe was born in Walla Walla, Washington, in 1945, and raised in Beverly Hills. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and has taught at various colleges and universities, including The New School for Social Research in Manhattan. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and two teenage daughters. Her stories are quick and as teasing as a coin trick: "He liked to take pictures. He liked to be in pictures. He liked to have pictures as a record that he lived his life. These pictures told a story-- the story of the life of which they were the proof." ("For the Camera").

These are dramatic monologues rooted in New England, but ranging widely over a spectrum of emotions and narrative styles. They speak in the voices of fathers to daughters, sons to mothers, sisters to brothers, and wives to husbands. They are intimate, reflective, and coloquial. In the tradition of Frost and Robinson, they tell stories about how we deal with pain and endure with those we love the most.
