David M. Bader is a writer in New York, a pursuit that raises the eternal question, "From this he makes a living?"

A former lawyer, he is the author of several books, including Haikus for Jews: For You, a Little Wisdom and Zen Judaism: For You, a Little Enlightenment. He began work on his most recent book, The Book of Murray: The Life, Teachings and Kvetching of the Lost Prophet, after an image of the Prophet Murray appeared to him on a toasted bagel.
