Why is this haiku book different from all other haiku books?
For centuries, the Japanese haiku has been one of the world's most
dazzling poetic forms. In just three short lines, it captures the
sublime beauty of nature--the croak of the bullfrog, the buzzing of the
dragonfly, the shriek of the cicada, the scream of the cormorant. Now,
with Haikus for Jews, there is finally a collection that celebrates the
many advantages of staying indoors.
Inspired by ancient Zen teachings and timeless Jewish noodging, this
masterful work is filled with insights that will make you exclaim, "Ah!"
or at least "Oy!" Whether you are Jewish or you simply enjoy a good
kosher haiku, these chai-kus (so called because of their high chutzpah
content) are certain to amuse. What's more, with each poem limited to
seventeen syllables, Haikus for Jews is perfect for people in a
hurry. Find out why God has made these The Chosen Haikus.
