Shapiro (26 April 1951), commonly called "Rabbi Rami", is an author,[1] teacher, and speaker[2] on the subjects of liberal Judaism and contemporary spirituality.[3] He served for ten years as Adjunct Professor of Religion at Middle Tennessee State University.[4] Early life and educationShapiro was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and raised in a modern Orthodox Jewish household. Introduced to the study of world religion in high school he began a serious study of and practice in Zen Buddhism at age sixteen. Shapiro entered the University of Massachusetts in 1969, majoring in philosophy. There he met Teresina Havens, a retired professor of world religion from Smith College who took him on as a private student studying both the Bhagavad Gita and Goddess-based spirituality. His work with Havens culminated in a private conference exploring the archetypal Divine Feminine in Hinduism and Judaism. As part of a year abroad program, Shapiro attended the University of Tel Aviv, where he focused on Jewish philosophy, especially the work of Martin Buber. While in Israel he studied Chabad Hasidism, and lived for a short time at Kfar Chabad, a Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic community. He then enrolled full-time at Smith College (one of only eight men allowed to do so at the time), where he majored in Buddhist Studies with Professor Taitetsu Unno. Shapiro managed Smith's zendo and sat sesshin with Joshu Sasaki Roshi of Mount Baldy Zen Center. His philosophy degree was conferred by the University of Massachusetts in 1973. Upon graduation Shapiro married Deborah Flanigan and the two moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada where he earned his M.A. in Religious Studies at McMaster University with a concentration in contemporary Jewish philosophy, especially the work of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan. Shapiro entered the Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in 1976, and spent his first year of study in Jerusalem, where he studied privately with Rabbi Kaplan, who was then 99 years old, and with Rabbi Sherwin Wine and the Society for Humanistic Judaism. After his year in Jerusalem, Shapiro continued his studies under the tutelage of Ellis Rivkin, Eugene Mihaly, and Alvin Reines, seeking to blend his love of Judaism with his passion for Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Advaita Vendanta (non-dual Hinduism). In 1979 he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served as the full-time rabbi at Wright–Patterson AFB. Shapiro completed his rabbinic studies in 1981.[5] Career and workUpon graduation, Shapiro moved to Miami, Florida, and created Temple Beth Or, a synagogue and think tank where he experimented with new forms of Jewish liturgy and practice, combining his experiences with Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.[6] He continued his Zen practice with the aid of Gesshin Roshi’s International Zen Institute of Miami. In 1985 Shapiro completed a Ph.D. in Contemporary Jewish Studies from Union Graduate School using his work with the temple as the basis for his dissertation. During his 20 years at Temple Beth Or, Shapiro studied with Rabbi Zalman Shachter-Shalomi, the founder of Jewish Renewal, a neo-Hasidic movement. In 2000 Shachter-Shalomi gave him the title of Rebbe (spiritual master). In 1984 Shapiro was invited to become a founding member of the Snowmass Group, an annual gathering of contemplatives from various religions held at St. Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, under the auspices of Father Thomas Keating. Through Keating, Shapiro met Ed Bastian, the founder of the Spiritual Paths Institute, and became part of the institute's faculty. Also on the institute's faculty was Swami Atmarupananda, who became Shapiro's primary Hindu teacher. After a decade of study, Shapiro was initiated into the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism under Atmarupananda's teacher, Swami Swahananda. Shapiro lectures on the parallels between Judaism and Hinduism at various Vedanta centers in India and the United States. In 2002 Shapiro was invited to deliver the Huston Smith Lecture at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He called this lecture, delivered with Smith sitting in the front row, "one of the highlights of my career."[7] In 2012 Shapiro teamed up with Reverend Tim Miner and the Order of Universal Interfaith to co-found the annual Big I Conference on Inclusive Theology, Spirituality, and Consciousness. In 2016, after leaving the university, Shapriro teamed up with Reverend Claire Goodman and Frank Levy to create the One River Foundation.[8][9] One River promotes the study of Perennial Wisdom, the mystic heart found at the core of all religions. The foundation sponsors three projects: The One River Wisdom School, a retreat-based program for the study of sacred texts Eastern and Western; The Order of the Holy Rascal, an ordination program for people interested in becoming ordained clergy devoted to subverting the darker side of Big Religion with humor; and Cup of Wisdom, a book club for the study of The World Wisdom Bible, an anthology of Perennial Wisdom texts and teachings from many of the world's religions. In addition to writing books and teaching, Shapiro writes the Roadside Assistance for the Spiritual Traveler, a spiritual Q&A column for Spirituality and Health magazine[10] and hosts the magazine's podcast, "Essential Conversations with Rabbi Rami".[11] Honors{{citation needed|date=October 2016}}
