Holy Beggars: A Journey from Haight Street to Jerusalem  Add to Cart

Memoir about a spiritual teacher (Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach) and a student (the author) in 1960s San Francisco, a colorful cast – including Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Allen Ginsburg, Murshid Samuel Lewis ("Sufi Sam"), Swami Satchidananda, Ajari Warwick, Rabbi Zalman Shalomi Schachter, and many more – and lives that were changed forever. 

This exciting literary debut by Aryae Coopersmith tells a story of grace, loss, redemption, and ultimately of acceptance. It invites us to reflect on how the 1960s spiritual revolution – with its vision of the oneness of us all – has influenced each of our lives. 

Aryae Coopersmith is CEO of the HR Forums, whose members are Silicon Valley’s human resource executives, which he co-founded with Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence, in 1992. In this, his first book, he chronicles his first-hand experience at the center of a revolution that helped shape a generation.
