  • Jacob’s Ladder re-imagined

    Such a beautiful essay and image. A clarion call to answer God’s call “ Where are you?” with the Hineni of immersion in the complex, sometimes dark and always difficult work of Tikkun. It is not distant and far away, rather the spiritual path to redemption is right in front of us.

    Thank you.
