The Hebrew Bible presents Israel's history - and future - as a WANDERING
in TENTS.
The message for humans is:
M O V E !
Don't get stuck in anything, and especially: don't cling to security.
At first even Israel's God was not static, sitting on a temple throne.
His sanctuary was a moving tent,
the Ohel Mo'ed, the Tent of Appointment.
If the big war may be postponed after all, as it seems this morning,
I may have time, to exemplify here this immense message,
which has motivated even my exterior living and creating.

"Jubilate, O barren,
you who did not give birth exult, break-forth in jubilation you who did not labor, for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married. |
"Make wide the place of your tent,
and the curtains of your habitations may stretch spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes." [Isaiah 54, 1-3; my translation] |

"Who dwells with them
in the midst of their pollution [tum'atam]" |
The war with Iraq has left us in peace, so far,
but upheavals in my "Life
with Tomer" have not.
Still, in the midst of the turmoil I've followed my plan,
to scan, edit and insert at least 2 pages of my German/Hebrew book each day.
And that's how I came across a passage which now keeps intriguing me,
and which explains, why I "wasn't supposed to" start with this page
until I remembered,
that there is this central mystery in the seemingly so
technical biblical book "Leviticus",
"... the Tent of Appointment which dwells with
them in the midst of their pollution."

Israel are Guarantors for Each Other"
