About the teacher

Rami Shapiro

Rabbi Rami Shapiro teaches within the Jewish Renewal movement, drawing on Kabbalistic sources while framing his broader work as 'perennial wisdom': the search for common contemplative ground across religious traditions rather than a single-tradition teaching. He co-directs the interfaith One River Foundation and writes a column and podcast for Spirituality & Health.

He keeps a schedule of speaking engagements, including appearances at UU Fellowship Murfreesboro in April and September 2026, alongside One River Wisdom School retreats.

The mystics know that the language is just a finger pointing to the moon, to use a Zen phrase.
