The shiur on Polish Hasidic thought was even better this week than it had been upto this point. This was the second week we spent on the Isbitz. And having looked at his life story and relationship with the Kotzker last week we were now studing just two sections from the Mei Hashiloach. The passage concernd with the spies and the one about Pinhas.
The later is probably the most radical Jewish teaching I have come across, and I can see why it was oftern omited or even torn out from the book. Anyway I went straight out and got a copy of the Mei Hashiloach (in translation.)
I had agreed to meet somefriends the next day so i had sometime to kill in london...I went to G.Green and got some surplies for shabbat. Then I had a look around the charity shopes...I found a copy of the No'am Elimeelch (Hebrew) for just a couple of pounds which was nice becaue i was about to get it anyway. I then ate lunch in a kosher Italian.
I still had sometime to kill so i stoped off at the British Libaury and had a look at their expo on human rights, before heading to the National Gallary to meet up with my friends. I still got there a bit on the earily side so I had a long look around the early paintins 1200-1500. I then met one of my friends who run though her talk on a picture 'an experiment with an air pump' on me-it was very good and even though it is one of my favourite pantings she had spotted things that i had always missed. We then met up with our other friends and went to get some dinner. Central London looked very bautiful under a light dusting of snow. (It was Itlain food again but then who can get to much Itlain food can you?)
