Undertorah: An Earth-Based Kabbalah of Dreams by Jill Hammer.

A book about dreams that gets across the *feeling* of dreams - less technical than some of her other work, but still an interesting read.

Sadly, I've received some unkind or mean feedback when I offered this list of collaborations: Jewish laypeople and leaders who reject virtue signaling and instead make friends across denominational lines!
#ReformJews, #OrthodoxJews, #ConservativeJews, #JewishRenewal, #NeoHasidic Jews, learning and doing things together.

Folks in my community think that this is great: It'd be wonderful to see more of this in our communities <3

Social media just reminded me of the time in college that our new (somewhat hippy dippy) Jewish chaplain referred to her chevruta as her "soul partner" and we all thought she was polyamerous for several weeks. @mazeldon #College #Jewish #JewishRenewal

What upsets some Jews on Mastodon is that they don't want us non-Orthodox Jews to learn Chassidus or even be friends with Orthodox Jews. We however feel that friendship and reading is not threatening. Open your hearts to the many non-Orthodox Jews discovering neo-Hasidut. This is mainstream across #ReformJudaism, #JewishRenewal, and #ConservativeJudaism.
