Presently traveling and teaching in Spain, Germany and Holland with such awe for the transformations in Jewish life. New communities abound in the progressive world, with such well-trained rabbis and cantors and SPIRIT! Sunday night, with awe and love, I'm priviledge to teach in Zeist on the Anan HaKavod--the Cloud of Glory, which Torah and our sages connect in such wonderful ways to Sukkot. Chag sameach to all!

Today is Day 41 of the 6th week of the Omer. It has been a very challenging week personally and worldwide. Today til sundown is Yesod within Yesod. Tzeitl Locher connects Yesod with the "Staff of Knowledge, made of a branch of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is the staff that helps people to distinguish between the good - the life enhancing - and evil - the life impoverishing..." Jewish tradition views this branch/staff as having been passed down through the generations, and just as G*d "gave the staff to Adam out of love...and it was received in love.
