Exile is within

They don’t understand.
Exile is within.
You can pray every day, but ultimately it will lead to nothing.
Don’t pray other people’s prayers. Speak to yourself. Ask your soul what it needs in this lifetime.
Feed it with books and knowledge and the beautiful creations of other self-conscious people.
If G-d heeds you, and you believe in a higher authority, use that to purify your thoughts and actions.
Stop asking for temples and redeemers, my loves.
Take care of your soul, in the correct and conscious way.
Start the work now, so that you will be reunited with yourself in this lifetime.
The exile within is waiting for you to become aware of it.
So become.
I can recommend a few rabbinical schools if you’d like.
-David
In Israel?
well, there are two programs in Jerusalem I know of that grant semikha to women.
I don’t think I am invested enough (or at all) in rabbinical Judaism to move forward on that, but thanks
I’m with you.
out of curiosity, would you consider the non-Orthodox denominations to be under the category of rabbinical Judaism?
I would, although their approach to Talmiduc Judaism is much more fluid and flexible.
agreed; just curious to understand where you’re coming from. thanks.
Half the time I don’t even know where I’m coming from 🤫
