The name מדר"ל is the Rashei Tevot of my name, which I received at my encounter with the Divine. The gematria of מדר"ל is 274, while the gematria of the full name, משה דויד רפאל לרמן, is a thousand.
Over the years, we have covered Judaism with too many clinging vines, to the point where we can no longer see or even recognize das Ding an sich, “the thing in itself.” A thick scab has grown on Judaism, and it needs to be scraped off. We have to expose the founding pillars and build a superstructure. We must recognize that the barer Judaism gets and the more uncertain we become, the closer we get to where we need to be, until we hit the core.
