another Rabbi


http://www.chabad.org/ used to be a jewish site i frequented a long time ago for jewish spirituality and other stuff like that. after having lost touch of it, phil sumpter in his latest blog entry reminded me of it, especially now with the addition of the latest cartoons of rabbi infinity (hmm, rings a bell!).

so, go the link below and check out the kabbalistic cartoons. a lot of fun, especially episode 1: filling the hole (which sounds like what st. augustine said about the God-shaped vacuum inside each one of us which can only be filled by God). here rabbi infinity says that the hole can only be filled by living a godly life! equally true insight! great stuff and see all 5 videos.

Reb,

I am doing a study and commenting on a paper (from a good fren who is amateur) on archeology and conquest of canaan. Would love to interact with you...why not some postings on your thoughts on history, archeology and OT?

What's your email if you don't mind, i would like to send you the essay my friend wrote, which I am working on to comment at the moment.

my mail is scheekeong {AT} gmail

And btw, my web is really "Jack Said", combination of two master literary figures, jack, pen name of CS Lewis and a samad said, national laurate. ; )

Jack Said
great to have met you in person at stm. better to put a face behind the webnames. my email is aloke6@yahoo.cco.uk

great webname. cs lewis is a favourite of mine and was able to visit his grave in headington, oxford some years back. samad is well-known. almost ahd a photo taken with him but didn't do it. don;t think i can stand even beside him in terms of output.

history, archaeology and OT? have been following the comments on the biblical studies group. not an easy topic but will try to make some postings soon.
one way to read the latest arguments between scholars on archaeology is to join the following yahoo group:

biblical-studies@yahoogroups.com

it is headed by dr. jim west and there are lots of stuff to read almost each day. as an amateur, one can post or ask questions to the scholars. so, just send an email to jim and request to join the group.
