I'm Still Here
Where have I been... This is a straight - forward question with a complicated answer. I fell into a rabbit hole initially that ended up fundamentally changing my life. I’m not even kidding. At the tail-end of my time on Twitter, I suddenly found myself drawn to asking about Jewish Kabbalah. I had been peripherally aware of it for a long time, but knew almost nothing about it. So I put some feelers out for some book recommendations and got some really good ones. I started with God is a Verb by Rabbi David Cooper, and it honestly was a fantastic jumping off point. It was easy to follow and I was thankful for that because, as it turns out, Kabbalah is incredibly dense material. I also picked up some stuff from Gershom S cholem which is much more scholarly in feel. I’m glad I didn’t start with it, and saved it for my second read. It’s great stuff. I felt my brain exploding while I read it. Now, I have not grasped onto Kabbalah necessarily. Definitely not in it
