A Modern Jew In Search of Soul

About Author

A small preview of the contributing authors: J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D., was a Zurich-trained Jungian analyst and psychologist. His main commitment had been to the healing of the splits within the Self. In his article, Judaism and Jungian Psychology: A Personal Experience, Dr. Spiegelman exposes his own search for soul both as a man and as a Jew. While approaching this from the personal point of view, he encompasses the universal. Theodore G. Falcon, Ph.D., is both a rabbi and psychotherapist, healer and teacher. In his essay, Jewish Paths Toward Awakening Rabbi Falcon presents to us his insight of Jewish meditation (hitbodedut) and spirituality. He provides the reader with practical methods which are applicable in daily life, some of which are based on the teachings of Kabbalah using specific Hebrew words, verses, and the Shema, the Watchword of Jewish faith from the Bible. These then are presented to the reader as some of the inner paths toward spiritual awakening in the modern world. Daryl Dovid Temkin, in his essay, In Search of One s Missing Soul, reminds us that All of Judaism and much of civilization has given a profound assent to the struggles of those who are searching and finding their own souls.
