There’s a dark side to G‑d. No one wants to talk about it. Philosophers and mystics alike are fond of pondering G‑d’s oneness, perfectness, goodness, omniscience, amazingness, and all around sweetness and wonderfulness. War, disease, school classrooms and the view from the New Jersey Turnpike get blamed on us human beings and the corruptive quality of dumb matter. There’s something here we are deliberately avoiding. I began to wonder: Who made dumb matter to begin with? Who crafted the human ego?

People the world over have different ways to talk about G‑d. At some point, the Kabbalists began calling G‑d “The Infinite Light.” For example: Know that before the emanations were emanated and the creations were created, there was a supernal, simple light filling all of existence.

At some point in my early adolescence, my mother decided that, as a good Jewish mother, she needed to take me to the synagogue—for something other than the over-packed High Holiday doldrums. She said it would be interesting. I wasn't disappointed. As far as I can recall, that was my first exposure to the Bernie Rosenfeld experience. It was awesome.

Just figured it out. The universe is held together by divine wisdom. Humanity is held together by duct tape.
In 1933, if even a few voices of academia had spoken up, history would have changed course. Today, we have a second chance. Please read this. Then ask your prof to put up a mezuzah on his office doorpost. No statement could be stronger. https://t.co/98soWSttfZ
