Reb Zalman turns to the implications of his reworking of Jewish
mysticism. In previous books, he outlined his belief system using
the kabbalistic image of the Ten S'firot, reframed the Lurianic
concept of the breaking of the vessels, and argued for the
continued centrality of a messianic teleology in Judaism. Now, he
outlines how this new mystical vision can be applied to Halachah,
the expression of vision in the details of living. Integral
Halachah "transcends and includes," maintaining continuity with the
past and providing flexibility for the present. This book is torah
she-b'al peh/oral teaching, allowing for update and revision.
I deal with the rubble of the holocaust, so please don't expect
order and precision. Rather, join me in relating to ancient
questions needing new answers in this time of paradigm shift. How
do we find meaning by continuing to be Jews? How do we connect to
joy, to purpose, and why should we want to within a Jewish context,
if it has been the cause of so much pain?
The way I can answer these questions is by creating a new,
transcending, Judaism which honors the past and goes beyond it. Our
practice must reference the larger purpose of the Jewish people in
the world, our commitment to God and to what we call tikkun olam,
to being agents of redemption. We now also know that we are not
alone in this commitment, but part of something greater, a sharing
with other people and paths. (Reb Zalman)
