Widely circulated in e-mails and quoted on web pages, often without attribution,[1][2] this collection of Jewish Zen combines Eastern wisdom and advice with Jewish kvetching.
The following are examples from the book:
- The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single "Oy."
- There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?
- To know the Buddha is the highest attainment. Second highest is to go to the same doctor as the Buddha.
