For Brenda There is probably a Chabad rabbi somewhere near you. Call him up and ask what he has to offer. Reply

Raised in Ignorance Where would you suggest a Jew who was not raised as a Jew begin these studies? God is calling me back but it seems so overwhelming I don't know where to begin. Reply

Why is it now necessary for the hidden part of Torah to be revealed? (two reasons) 1) It's a responsive, emergency measure to revive Yiddihkeit (which is comatose in places) in a world that conceals G-dliness with spiritual darkness.

2) To prepare for and provide a 'taste' of the "total immersion of the entire human capacity in divine knowledge" of the Messianic era. Reply

perhaps it's time ... It seems Holy teachings of advanced Spiritual knowledge is good & right in our time for 2 reasons>>
1) due to our massive-weapons & conflicts, the world might not have time to wait--we need the maturity to deal w/ deadly power & pollution,
and 2) our collective Spiritual & scientific knowledge has reached a point in which we are not growing enough--billions of people are overtaken by running-in-circles of saturated ego because good teaching **has been supplanted** by advertising & similar competitive-ego, rat-race mentality. Reply

The lesson is maybe the search. It took the efforts of all the subjects and then for their king to get them to accept that its use wasn't for its place in the king's crown, but as a cure. Reply
