Every now and then I read something and all I can think is, “Darn, I wish I’d written that.”
My colleague Rabbi Robin Nafshi has published an exquisite essay on the Lilith blog, Losing God in Jerusalem.
I encourage you to click the link and read it. I’m not going to spoil it for you by saying more.
Reblogged this on SnarkyCrunch and commented:
Rebooting as I want to share this. This brought a gambit of emotions up inside me.
Yes – that was my reaction, too. I’m glad that you found it as compelling as did I.
Left me feeling a bit cold. Interesting emotions of the author however and rather different from how I interpret my relationship with G-d.
thank you for sharing; i like reading honest soul searching; we are not alone in the search and brings such reward.
Her honesty took my breath away. I had a very rough year living there myself and realized, reading R. Nafshi’s piece, how much I had suppressed and “forgotten.”
