one more jew trying to transcend narrowness

What a weekend!

Just a brief note to say L'Shana Tova to all. We had an amazing set of services at Beyt Tikkun, with a great talk by Reb. Estelle Frankel on Saturday and wonderful teaching by Dr. Harriet Zeiner on Sunday. I will write more internal stuff tomorrow...

Just a one to ponder: I learned of a mystical teaching this weekend which holds that on Yom Kippur, when the gates are closed, Gd takes on a new name for the year, as the name for the previous year has been pierced with our cheyt (poorly translated as sins, but with the meaning of an arrow missing its mark). Much more on the subject, but what will Gd's name be for you in the new year?

In the meanwhile, peace.
