Universe of Technical Images (The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic)
I was almost going to post the very polished photographic images that appeared here at the NYT about The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic. They are definitely worth a look. But I couldn’t post them in good faith. The … Continue reading
Anthropomorphism (Arthur Marmorstein & The Old Rabbinic Doctrine of God)
Reading up about God and rabbinic theology, I found this reference by Yair Lorberbaum in to the Hungarian born and forgotten Arthur Marmorstein (1882–1946), author of the two volume The Old Rabbinic Doctrine of God. I: The Names and Attributes … Continue reading

Shekhina (2nd Temple & Rabbinic Sources)
On God/Shekinah in Targumim, 2nd Temple Period, and rabbinic sources, see this exhaustive entry by Kaufman Kohler and Ludwig Blau in the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia available online here. “The term,” they explain, “was used by the Rabbis in place of … Continue reading
The God Is In The Details
Here at Wikipedia: The idiom, “God is in the detail” has been attributed to a number of different individuals, most notably to German-born architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) by The New York Times in Mies’s 1969 obituary; however, it is generally … Continue reading
(Modern Jewish Esotericism) Holocaust Parapsychology (Aaron Zeitlin)
Of enormous interest to readers of the phenomenology of religion, literature and Yiddish literature, the Holocaust and postwar Jewish culture in Israel and the United States, trauma and memory studies, the occult and esotericism, psychology and philosophy is this extraordinary … Continue reading
