Shechinah at the Art Institute

It has been said that God made people because God loves stories. In which case Irwin is one of God's most beloved. The stories in Shechinah at the Art Institute have many sources. Some are from the life experience of the author. Others have been passed from hand to hand for a thousand years. Still others are familiar as they are kin to the stories which shape our own lives. The wisdom, humor, and perspective in them all will enrich you and gently bind you to other lives both ancient and modern. A good story heals the loneliness which is the hidden wound of our time. Bravo Irwin. What a gift you have offered to us all. --Rachel Naomi Remen MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings I am not religious. But this book makes my heart sing. There's music in Irwin's words. Wisdom, too. He reminds us that in this darkened world, there is still light. And there is love. It's what makes this book not just entertaining, but important. --Linda Ellerbee, journalist and author Quirky, playful, steeped in classical Jewish learning, Keller unveils long-suppressed queerness in Jewish tradition and encounters the sacred miraculously appearing in the secular world. --Rabbi Dr. Rachel Adler, author of Engendering Judaism and Tales of the Holy Mysticat In these beautifully written meditations, Irwin Keller records his dialogue with sacred texts of his Jewish tradition. Ay, absolutely wonderful, so refreshing, hopeful in a world so desperate for peace. --Greg Sarris, author of Grand Avenue and the forthcoming collection, The Forgetters
