VISITATION He's our ghost in the machine, spirit crackling through the wires. One of the traditional names for God is " ha-Makom," the Place; I feel increasingly that when we meet in this placeless way, God is the Place in Whom we connect.

We need to reach up toward our highest wisdom, the most transcendent part of ourselves, in order to roll up our sleeves and build a place where holiness can dwell right here in the world. The text mentions a few times that each person gave a half-shekel (in Hebrew, a beka ) toward the construction.

After sixteen years online I'm smart enough to know not to respond when I'm in that kind of emotional place (thank God!) -- but I couldn't shed the feelings. Of course, had I done so I would have entangled myself right back in the midst of what had made me so angry and so sad.
