Description
How do we handle uncomfortable questions? Do we ignore them and bottle them up, or do we turn toward them? In the Swiss-German writer Jeremias Gotthelf's novel The Black Spider, we witness how a society deals with threats to its perception of Christianity. Judaism is also not immune from questions of legitimacy. In his 1939 book, Moses and Monotheism, Freud posited that Moses was actually not a Hebrew but an Egyptian. Yet, Freud also believed that perceiving Moses as Egyptian could actually be a kind of gift to the Jewish people. Why? Meditation, and the concept of letting emotions, thoughts, and pain "be there," may provide the answer.IG: Stevehead0001steventobyweinberg.comMusic: Khaled - "Sahra"
