Lawrence Kushner, author, lecturer and spiritual leader, is
regarded as one of the most creative religious thinkers and writers
in America. A commentator on National Public Radio's All Things
Considered, he has focused us on spiritual renewal with wisdom and
humor. Through his books and lectures, people of every faith and
background have found inspiration and new strength for spiritual
search and growth. It has been said that some spiritual leaders
blend religion and psychology to help us walk better on the ground,
but Lawrence Kushner draws on the wisdom of the mystics to help us
dance better on the ceiling.
Kushner's acclaimed books include I’m God; You’re Not: Observations
on Organized Religion & Other Disguises of the Ego; Honey from the
Rock: An Easy Introduction to Jewish Mysticism; Invisible Lines of
Connection: Sacred Stories of the Ordinary; The Book of Letters: A
Mystical Hebrew Alphabet; Jewish Spirituality: A Brief Introduction
for Christians; and In God’s Hands, an inspiring fable for
children, with Gary Schmidt (all Jewish Lights).
Kushner served as rabbi at Congregation Beth El in Sudbury,
Massachusetts, for almost thirty years; he is currently the
Emanu-El scholar at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco, and an
adjunct faculty member at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of
Religion. He is fascinated by graphic design and computers
(designing most of his Jewish Lights books). He enjoys Mozart,
hanging around sailboats, and making his granddaughters giggle.
