We learn that the search for meaningful
lives and relationships of love requires both a certain wisdom and
sensitivity. We must learn to accept the givens of our lives and build
an island of serenity and a castle of happiness within them.
The Bible reports the exceptional struggles at the heart of the human
condition and subsequent frustrations and disappointments attending
these authentic portrayals of mankind. In these stories we can
learn about the essential contours of Biblical life which may also, in
fact, contain the ingredients of our own personal lives.
In the beginning, before the creation of the world, God was alone in
His privacy, before forming a relationship of intimacy with man.
Yet intimacy with man did not signify the end of His privacy. Even when
intimate with others, He remains bound and sealed away in His privacy.
With a sensitivity to religion and culture, Mordechai Nisan offers a
special prism of vision and reflection on the human condition.
