An Intensive Self Study
“Salvation is a long road that leads through many gates. These gates are symbols. Each new gate is at first invisible; indeed it seems at first that it must be created, for it exists only if one has dug up the spring’s root, the symbol.”
C.G. Jung
A literal reading of Wisdom reduces Her to one place and one time. Reading Torah as metaphor and myth frees Her to speak to you in your place and time. How do you ignore Torah (Wisdom)? By focusing only on what She says and not what She means.”
Rabbi Shapiro, Ethics of the Sages: Pirket Avot annotated & Explained
