I've started a new blog / e-Journal for Judaica related postings. The latest posting is drawn from my participation in a Shabbaton in Ashland, Oregon a couple of weeks ago. The event featured Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi of the ALEPH Alliance for Jewish Renewal, and is the movement's founder. Ashland is also blessed with a Kabbalistic Garden, in the shape of the Tree of Life and featuring plants appropriate to each sephira in the design. You can check it all out here:
