"Turn [the Torah], turn it, and turn it again—everything is in
it."
The sages teach that answers to all may be found in the Torah. Seymour
Rossel explores a unique way of
turning Torah study into a lifelong obsession—an age-old key to reading the Bible
that modern folk are only beginning to understand.
While most paths to heightened Jewish awareness (prayer,
meditation, mitzvot, and tikkun olam) require us to reach
out and embrace them, dreaming does not wait to
be embraced. Our dreams come to us unbidden and, too often, remain
unexplored. All of us dream, but few of us have learned how to connect our dreaming and
our Jewish spirituality.
Jewish sages teach that God reaches out to us through dreams—bringing
us guidance, sustaining and nourishing our spirits, healing and refreshing
us. As Rabbi Hisda put it, "A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read"
[Berahot, 55a]. Is there a lot of "D"-mail in our lives going
unanswered?
