Moshe is taking too long atop the mountain, so the people corral Aharon and say, "Come, make us a god who shall go before us;" we feel like we've been abandoned, and we're scared. And the people rejoice, and make offerings, and they eat and drink and dance.

Shabbat is the center of a six-petaled flower; all the days of the week arise out of it, and depend on it. In order to understand Kabbalat Shabbat, you need to understand the difference between ceremony and ritual, between that which is symbolic and that which is theurgic.

The book includes my answers to the questions "If there is one God, why are there so many religions?", "Does prayer work?", and "Does God speak to people?" (Good questions for me -- these are right up my alley.)

Deep down, can we know ourselves to be cut from the same cloth as the blue of the sky, the purple of twilight, the liquid gold of setting sun? None of us can know what it was like to be a priest in the Temple, to be tasked with making offerings on behalf of the community as Aaron and his sons did.

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and for once it feels to me that voting in my party's primary is actually a relevant act. May we who are casting votes tomorrow be blessed to approach voting as a holy act -- and may we all do our part toward co-creating a healed and transformed world, now and always.

GEMATRIA because in Hebrew, the tongue where this code unrolled, the letters of that most unsayable name add up the same way. Given that I just posted about gematria, the interpretive device which hinges on how Hebrew letters are also Hebrew numbers, I couldn't resist.

Judging from our roundtable, it seems that the next generation of Jews? including those actively engaged in Jewish life? do not experience Israel as a formative, crucial factor... And what would American Jewry look like in the next 25 years if we didn't look to Israel or Zionism as a center?
