Reb Zalman Gathers Figs: A Study of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi's Reading of Biblical Text to Re-Vision Judaism for the Present Day | 
so-soI don‘t want to put bail because this book is better than that, but that‘s exactly what happened. In the preface you‘re told that this is this woman‘s doctoral dissertation and it reads like it. It was just getting so dry I couldn‘t finish it. Now it‘s still absolutely worth the read if you‘re interested in R. Zalman‘s teachings.
I‘m hoping that the only adventure I‘ll have today is located in black fire dancing on white fire. #shabbat #jewlit #jewreads #shabbatactivities
It‘s been an interesting night. But books don‘t judge. Books just are.
Normally not into holocaust comparisons—they often come as plaudits these days. Never forget, but don‘t constantly remind. Still, I find this comparison to the evictees of the Holocaust to Cain to be interesting.
Yeah. Abrahamic religions continue to struggle with this.
Nothing like a good book about good people in the world when everything around is so bad.
