The Purpose  of   HEALING - K.I.S.S. - as stated 12 years ago - was and is   to help me and my potential P E E R s  "to HEAL ourselves into WHOLEness, and - by extension - all of CREATion!"

Intro to Healing-K.i.s.s. 2001-2013 and Overview of its main libraries [If you look for a word on this page, click ctrl/F and put a word in "find"]

I focus my experiencing and awareness on being "a   pioneer of  Evolution  in  learning  to  feel": I let my Body vibrate and my Heart 'womb' pain, shame, fear, boredom, powerlessness, so feelings can >heal >guide>fulfill>evolve, and ~~~ offer ~~~"goldmines"~~~ to us all!! "I want you to feel everything, every little thing!"

Bible
Isaiah 58:8+10-11
From the Haftarah
of Yom Kippur

 

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear...

and your light will rise in the darkness,
and your gloom will become like the noonday.

The LORD will guide you always;
....and will strengthen (?) your bones.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
[as to a more traditional translation, see]

 

Dann dringt dein Licht hervor
der Morgenroete gleich,
eilends waechst deine Wundhaut zu,
....
da strahlt dein Licht in der Finsternis auf,
sonnenhoehgleich wird dein Duester,
stetig geleitet dich ER,
... ermuntert dein Gebein,
dass du gleich wirst einem erfrischten Garten,
einem Wasserborn gleich,
dessen Wasser nie versagt.
[Buber-Rosenzweig: Verdeutschung der Schrift]

 

 

 

 

I always found the last lines too cumbersome,
so in April 2014 I decided
to shorten and modify them:

[:az titangi al Ha-Shem,
oneg Ha-Shem yihyaeh shaelakh:]

Isaiah 58:12-14

12 And they that shall be of thee

shall build the old waste places,

thou shalt raise up the foundations

of many generations;

and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach,

the restorer of paths to dwell in.

13 If thou turn away thy foot because of the sabbath,
from pursuing thy business on My holy day;
doing your desire on my holy day
and call the sabbath a delight,
and the holy of the LORD honourable;
and shalt honour it, not doing thy wonted ways,
and shall honour it by doing your ways,
nor pursuing thy business, nor speaking thereof;
by finding what is your desire

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD,
Then shalt thou delight thyself in Ha-Shem,
and I will make thee to ride upon the high     places of the earth,
and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father;

 

Jeschajahu 58:12-14

Truemmer der Vorzeit
bauen die Deinen auf, **)

Grundmauern von Geschlecht fuer Geschlecht
errichtest du wieder,

rufen wird man dich
Rissverzaeuner,
Rueckbringer der Pfade fuer die Besiedlung.



Haeltst du zurueck deinen Fuss
wegen der Wochenfeier,
vom Tun nach deinen Geluesten
zu tun deine Lust
am Tag meiner Heiligung,
rufst die Feier du: Erquickung*)

die MIR heilig ist: Ehrwuerdige,
ehrst du sie,
statt deine Wege zu tun,
indem du deine Wege tust
statt zu finden dein Geluest
indem du findest was deine Lust ist,
...
dann wirst du dich laben *) an MIR,
ich fahre dich
ueber Kuppen des Lands,
ich atze dich
mit Jaakobs ... Eigen.

Explanations to my "falsification" of the biblical text:

On Rosh-Hashanah, Sept. 9, 2010, I wanted to bless my friend Yanina.
Thinking of her life I remembered, how the inspiration to this song came to me
following a talk with her husband and her about this text in her house in 2006.

Re-studying Isaiah 58, I felt like adding the same tune to the rest of the chapter.
The coercion of adapting the syllables of the verses 12-14 to the existing tune
demanded some changes, and this demand caused me to think deeper
into how those verses were relevant for me now.
The obvious and drastic change had to be made in the concept of "Shabbat"...
But what was also"demanded" from me, (though not showing in the translations)
was to convert the male addressee into a female addressee.

Only after I had rehearsed the new version some 30 times, did I understand,
that it does, indeed, address a feminine mythical figure, the "nakhalat Ya'acov".
I do not want to translate this metaphor, but rather convey its meaning: "Israel".
The double meaning : Israel as a collective and individual members of Israel
is the same as in the 4 Songs of "The Lord's Servant", most of all in the 4th song:
In the figure of Isaiah 53, Christians see in it one individual Jew: Jesus.
while Jews see in it the nation of Israel through all its holocausts.
Scientists, of course, see in it the unknown author of the songs.

More about hefetz...
I see the danger and lack in the concept of
"doing your delight", "by doing your ways"
if the line :
by finding what is your desire,
is not greatly stressed!
What happens already to a five-year-old , is,
that suddenly his/her fountain of desires dries out!
What once delighted the child, no longer delights him!
Therefore the middle-world
of my "Conditions for Heaven-on-Earth" is

grate-full-ness, zest - full - ness, full-fill-ment!

I just discovered my page "Learning to Want", Aug. 2007!

A poem about how YHWH once cared for Israel,
but how they kicked against it: Deuteronomy 32:10-15
[I'm glad, that at least this passage is in the Torah and therefore can be found in the translation,
which Fox prepared according to the Buber-Rosenzweig's and my understanding of the Hebrew Bible.


He found him in a wilderness land,
in a waste, a howling desert.
He surrounded him, he paid-him-regard,
he guarded him like the pupil of his eye;
like an eagle protecting its nest,
over its young-birds hovering,
he spread out his wings, he took him,
bearing him on his pinions.
YHWH did lead them,
not with him any foreign god!
He had them mount on the high-places of the land,
he fed them the crops of the field;
he suckeld them with honey from a boulder
with oil from a flinty rock ...
But Yeshurun grew fat and kicked
you were fat, you were gross, you were gorged,
he forsook the God that made him,
and treated-like-a-fool the Rock of his deliverance.

The probably oldest usage of the metaphor
appears right at the beginning of one of the oldest prophets:
Micah, 7th century [Micah 1:1-5]
but in this case it is used with irony and wrath:


The word of YHWH that came to Micah the Morashtite
in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,
which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem
Hear, ye peoples, all of you;
Hearken, O earth, and all that therein is;
and let the Lord YHWH be witness against you,
the Lord from His holy temple.
For, behold, YHWH cometh forth out of His place,
and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth
And the mountains shall be molten under Him,
and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire,
as waters that are poured down a steep place
For the transgression of Jacob is all this,
and for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria?
And what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

Immanuel's family + Grandma: photos taken by Immanuel on Arnon's Bar-Mitzva Celebration, Nov. 2009

Tomer and Grandma

Elah, my eldest granddaughter, and Mika, my youngest    -    Elah and her brother Alon

Tomer gives his stepmother a good massage (I'm seen on the right, and behind me Joel and Hadass)

This photo was probably caught by Tomer

 

 

Apropos Tomer! Let's return to the beginning of this crowded month: Chanuka!
Tomer stood the test of "Good Behavior" in his boarding-school,
and received, what was promised, a computer with oversized sound.....

F
And since I mention Chanuka, let's remember that long weekend which ended with Mika's birthday party,
with an image, which is so beautiful, that it makes me forget the stress that was connected to Efrat's friend's visit.

 

Before the holidays - Chanuka was celebrated in Mika's kindergarden.
Except for one example , I choose the photos, which don't trigger me,
i.e. not those which show the "fighting Macabees"...
and not those, on which Mika and the other kids "evict darkness" with such vehemence,
as the famous song tempts them to do.

How come, that Mika is the only one who is excited?

The little fighting Macabees...

Again - while Mika is so excited that her tongue comes out,
the children behind her seem to be bored..

but then Mika brings her Abba in, and he plays with the kids not only the familiar songs, but our family song of the history behind Chanuka. I taught Mika, and she was proud to sing it in front of all her mates.

On the wall the emblems of Chanuka, but also the proofs, that the kids learn the Alef-Beth slowly but surely and - as to Mika - with great joy

 

 

Mika does not forget her pilot father
and since she recently was with him in Paris,
and during the year 2009 in New York,
sitting with him in the cock-pit,
she can image, what Abba sees from above...

 

 

ll	"I saw the "Gate of Victory", she shouted into the phone in Paris, while Grandma was in Arad, in Israel "and I was at the bottom of the Effel-tower!"

 

Mika's sister is the main actress in a performance for children during the Chanuka-week.

If there is someone in the world, of whom I am a little jealous
(actually a feeling, which I hardly know),
it is Elah, who receives the kind of warmth from Mika a l w a y s,
which her Grandma receives from her only r a r e l y ,
and this though my giving in time and content outweighs that of Elah by far.
What makes this disproportion more poitnant, is
that Elah since her 10th birthday is not "fond" of her Grandma, to say the least...
But to see Mika's happiness in embracing her big sister, I am totally appeased....

 

 

With this image - Mika in Paris for 30 hours - in front of walking people
I want to bring this year with Mika, my granddaughter, to a closure.
May the way in which she manifests an edge of "Heaven-on-Earth"
catch on to many people in the year 2010
