The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. The Spiritual Aspect of Freelancing. Dare not venture out of the familiar and quit their jobs. Yes, it is not easy to find another job. But the bigger obstacle in leaving the salaried life and striking out on your own is overcoming the mental atrophy that is characteristic to the salaried life. But back to freelancing. The most difficult part in freelancing is getting the client, especi...

The Israeli Tikkun Blog: A Visit To The Local Synagogue
http://the-israeli-tikkun-blog.blogspot.com/2007/01/visit-to-local-synagogue_17.html
The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Wednesday, January 17, 2007. A Visit To The Local Synagogue. On my Visit To Machon Meir. The Rabbi I met with gave me an excellent piece of advice - he said that I can contact the Rabbi of the local synagogue, and that in most cases he would only be too glad to help me find my way through the the prayers and services. I have no idea where this image comes from, and if it is true or not, so I'll ask my knowledgeable rea...

In this post I wish to demonstrate the basic terms of Transactional Analysis (T.A.) with the help of one of the best Seinfeld episodes ever. Why This Is Worth Reading. What is religious experience? What is the difference between religious people and believers? Why do secular Jews hate orthodox Jews so much? What is going on?

The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Monday, January 08, 2007. A Visit To Machon Meir. Today I paid a visit to Machon Meir. But I am getting ahead of myself. I like to be punctual, and sometimes that means that I arrive too early, especially if I am not sure where exactly the meeting place is supposed to be, and it turns out to be closer and easier to find than I thought. This time my Yekke. Continuing my stroll, I got the distinct impression that I was b...

The Israeli Tikkun Blog: June 2007

The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Sunday, June 24, 2007. Psychology for the Jewish Wedding Season. The wedding season is upon us and with it a renewed interest in this most fascinating ceremony of Jewish life - marriage. This is a most beautiful verse. I've heard it before and it always struck me as profound in some way, but this time it really got me thinking – what does it mean to leave the parents? Has this been addressed in the past? A psychologist...

The Israeli Tikkun Blog: Second Time At The BT Yeshiva
http://the-israeli-tikkun-blog.blogspot.com/2007/01/second-time-at-bt-yeshiva.html
The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Tuesday, January 02, 2007. Second Time At The BT Yeshiva. Yesterday I returned to the BT yeshiva where I received my Second Judaism Lesson. In order to meet the Rabbi who runs the place, the same one that annoyed me so much when we spoke briefly last week. This guy insisted that we study Jewish philosophy and faith, even though I told him I am not interested. He said that these subjects are very important, and cons...

The Israeli Tikkun Blog: Escape from the Secular Prison

The Israeli Tikkun Blog. Understanding the world we live in, so we can make it better. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Escape from the Secular Prison. I admitted to her that I simply couldn't - I had been raised in a decent, upright, secular-Zionist home that instilled in me the belief that religious Jews were the devil incarnated. After all, I don't eat bacon in synagogue on Yom Kippur! Previously on this blog I documented my unsuccessful journey towards Judaism in a series of posts stretching through Novem...

Women on the verge of thinking: July 2005
http://vergeofthinking.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Women on the verge of thinking. A provocative, intelligent and intoxicating site for penetrating discussion and thought: A look at life and its meaning completely through Words. Sunday, July 31, 2005. Is it possible that Jesus was Gay? While relaxing and soaking up the rays in the Miami sun, I had much time to keep my brain from stimulation, except when taking my long walks, when usually new topics would percolate, and be a sorce of stimulation and interest to me. Thank you for your minds. When Jews are ...
