Congregation Ohave Shalom, Pawtucket, RI hosts the Jewish Spirituality Mailing List

Jewish Spirituality
Volume 9

By way of preface:

The "Jewish Spirituality" mailing list is an outgrowth of several conversations in which people told me that they felt "alone" in their quest to develop their relationship with Gd. I knew they weren't alone, just from my own interactions with other people, and so I extended an invitation to the Jewish community of Rhode Island to join in a weekly mailing list exploring issues within their relationship with HaShem.

Many of the messages posted on the list reflect people's personal struggles and sensitivities. As a result, some of the people who post remarks on this list opt to do so anonymously; they send me the e-mail, and I drop their names. The list is "blind cc'd," as well, so that no one knows who else is on the list. Our goal is that the members of this list should draw strength and inspiration from the words of their peers, and thereby continue to develop as Jews.

If you would like to join the list, please e-mail me at rijewish@juno.com.

Jewish Spirituality - Volume 9

Hello,

There is no issue of "Jewish Spirituality" for this week; I think Pesach has managed to keep us busy.

I have managed to put the back-issues of "Jewish Spirituality" on line, though; they may be found at https://members.tripod.com/~ohave/spirit/index.htm.

Here's a question to think about over Shabbos, though:

Is my relationship with Gd different from the way it was before I began Pesach preparation weeks ago?
Why/why not?
If I am satisfied with the spiritual results of Pesach, what should I look to repeat next year?
If I am dissatisfied with the spiritual results of Pesach, what should I look to change next year?

Obvious questions, of course, but I thought it might be worth putting them in writing.

Have a good Shabbos,
Mordechai Torczyner
