Interesting newsitems today. Especially the words "messianic" and "obsessive" for the behavior of the US. They are very true, but of course Obama and Kerry are insulted, and nowwant Netanyahu to officially retract them. Fascinating.
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 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.
