How do you know what you are meant to fix?
If you have a genuine need for this thing, then you know it awaits you to carry it to a higher place.

Hi Rabbi Freeman,
Thank you! The final review can be the hardest part of writing ... it will make a wonderful birthday present for myself and I will be looking forward to seeing that it is available for purchase!

Re: Upcoming Book
Hi Karin,
We hope to release the book in September. It's complete, just undergoing review of sources, copy-editing, layout design, etc.

Just an update, Rabbi Freeman ... I received the complimentary copy of "Wisdom to Heal the Earth" yesterday! (Yes Hashem blessed me with extra funds that allowed me to contribute to the publishing of your book!) Ironically, today is when you published a favorite DD with my original question.
I will give you one guess what I will be doing on Shabbes - the first two don't count - there is nothing like a long awaited new book to bring extra joy!

Based on the forward and a quick scan of table of contents, I know already that I'm going to enjoy your book! You do know it may take a year or so to let y'all to know how I enjoyed it? I have been reading, studying and thinking about your DD since 8-8-08 - some came "easily" and others required a lot of thought.
Also, I enjoyed reading about you in the preliminary start - I knew about Heaven Can wait, I & II - had no idea that you had written 3 other books. Thanks for sharing a little of your background!

Tikkun Olam Tikkun Olam. Upon hearing this concept I understood Spiritual Judaism. Or , more to the point, I began to understand its purpose. Out wardly, it is the observance of the law, but inwardly it is our reason for being. To fix the shattered vessel, to repair the world. Reply

A part stands alone and becomes apart All things are perfect both seen and hidden, as this is unity. Balance of one is having two, yet both unseen and revealed. As one creates form from one as a image. As the image we can see His mighty works of He who is hidden from existence. As the image forms the creation in which the image becomes meaning to En Sof. As what is a dream, but a image that forms in two places. Yet two places are of He who exists at a point which exist in all things. That who can say what exists, is really the question the who, were created to ask. That purpose was formed in the image of unity in He that is One. Reply

Could you explain this one further and a bit deeper, but with realistic goals. Reply
We need each other to fix our world.
We need to rework the broken selfish relationships between us.
We need to perceive us as one interdependent, interconnected system. Then everything else will simply fall into place when G_dliness flows between us.
