Judaism has a really beautiful mystical tradition that most people are unaware of. Thanks for sharing it! I love this story too.Ein Sof is one of the many names of the Womb of God.

Isn't it amazing the way one woman's story from one specific tradition can touch so many seemingly disparate lives? I look forward to catching up with you at your site. Doc -

Very interesting-and the breaking of the world theme is one that is also in qabalah and gnosticism, I think. Anyway I'd reccomend Rachel Pollack's books if you haven't read them-hmm...I think there was a sign in a shop when I was visiting you for a workshop by her so she could be a neighbour!

The Rabbi, a base chaplain, who did my bat mitzvah flew two hours to do it and the study sessions. Only in the past few years am I learning what it's like to have a Jewish community- my friends. It's a nice feeling, one I'm still kind of adjusting to, to feel that connection. I recently learned more about Judaism and tikkun olam during a Unitarian service a friend was guest speaker/lay-leader for. The way she explained it, goodness restores the vessel's cracks and badness (if I recall correctly) cracks it again. It really resonated and jived with my spiritually eclectic self and how I try to move through life. Coincidentally, to enter the sanctuary people had to pass a man with an anti-U.U sign. Post is <a href="http://mishmosh.wordpress.com/2007/12/31/crossing-the-picket-line-to-church/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, if interested. Maybe he would have found some understanding and healing inside the walls. One by one, bit by bit, healing can happen.

I am neither Catholic, nor Jewish, but it had a truth that really resonated with my core for the same reasons my own faith does. If you're interested, I shared some thoughts inspired by this same podcast in <a href="http:http://mormonmd.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/religion-science-and-medicine/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>. Healing the world, what a great metaphor. Their is so much broken and yet so much beautiful in mankind. I love your blog. Thank you for sharing your journey. Best of luck wherever the path may lead.
