"Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" Learning Kabbalah Through Humor, by Sam "Simcha" Krause and Terry Krause, uses laughter to explore ancient Jewish mysticism

PASSAIC, N.J. (MMD Newswire) October 4, 2010 -- Written with Terry Krause, Sam Krause's "Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" Learning Kabbalah Through Humor takes the complex and highly esoteric study of Kabbalah and brings it down to a level than anyone can understand, using humor as the vehicle to get the message across.

Kabbalah is an ancient discipline that dates back over three thousand years to the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, only coming into written form through the efforts of second century mystic, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, notes Krause.

In "Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" Krause touches on his twenty-year quest for wholeness which culminated in the discovery that everything he'd been searching for already existed within his own tradition. Unsatisfied with his professional contribution as a salesman, he turns to standup comedy as a diversion, but realizing the limitations of that venue, Sam keeps looking. It isn't until a chance meeting with some Kabbalah-teaching rabbis, however, that he begins to consider the spiritual possibilities inherent in humor. Learning as much as he can, and having fun along the way, Krause eventually begins teaching and lecturing on Kabbalah, choosing to focus on what life lessons can be learned from jokes.

Meant to be as wise as it is funny, "Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" aims to deliver important messages about God and relationships as well as explore the spiritual channel through which humor can allow a connection with the Divine. Targeting anyone with an interest in New Age spirituality and Kabbalah, including the novice, "Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" touches the funny bone on its way to its more lofty destination.

"Hey Waiter...There's God in My Soup!" Learning Kabbalah Through Humor is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
