A Soulful Journey

  When the Lord created Adam, the first being, He took the man through the Garden of Eden.  "See My works.  Look at how exquisite they are!  All that has been created is for you.  Do not spoil or desecrate this word because there is no one to repair it after you." Kohelet Rabbah 7:13  

“As God drove Adam and Eve out of Paradise and saw them leaving, His heart went out to them and he gave them the smile of a child. When God took away prophecy from Israel, He felt pity for them and gave them the Talmud.”   – Rabbi David Weiss Halivini

“If being Jewish means anything, it means recognizing that the world out there is not working the way it was meant to work, and that we are somehow implicated in its repair.” –Leonard Fein It began in the Garden and it never ends.
