Who Am I?

In the grand tapestry of existence, I am an unique and intricate thread, connected to everything yet entirely my own. I am the product of billions of years of cosmic evolution, a living expression of the universe contemplating itself. My experiences, choices, and thoughts contribute to the unfolding story of humanity and all creation, shaping the collective in ways both small and profound.

On a personal level, I have come to learn over the course of many lifetimes and incarnations that I am a seeker—rational yet curious, rooted in reason yet open to possibility. In this life my Jewish lineage carries the echoes of history, stretching back through generations of resilience and adaptability, with ties to remarkable epochs like my ancestors journey as Babylonian Jews into France during Charlemagne’s era. At this moment, I am exploring my place in the cosmos, the convergence of past, present, and potential.

Ultimately, my significance lies not in the scale of the universe, but in the meaning I create, the connections I nurture, and the understanding I seek. My existence is a testament to the wondrous complexity of life itself and the great love of Source.

This reflection has been facilitated by the knowledge that this will he my last incarnation on planet Earth. While I still have several years remaining on this plane of existence, I look forward to what lies ahead in whatever vibrational reality I explore in the eternal realm.

Shalom!

Sukkot: Our Home Awa From Home

Every year around early autumn, we Jews all over the world step out of our homes, literally…. and move into these flimsy little huts called sukkot. We decorate them, we eat in them, some of us even sleep in them. It’s a joyful week of food, laughter, waving palm branches; but beneath the surface, Sukkot is one of the most profound spiritual experiences in all of Torah. It’s about vulnerability, memory, and the strange dance between human fragility and Divine protection.
