The Torah/Teaching is often compared to the Tree of Life; Torah is rooted in the truth therefore can reach to the furthest extremities. The Cabala teaches that nothing can exist without the spark of God giving life—even inhumane extremes. Through the middle extremes are mollified and in the end severity is sweetened.
Cabala (Kabbalah) News gives a spiritual slant to the ordinary by taking daily news items and showing the connection to Cabala (Kabbalah) through the four stages of Torah/Teaching of the Jewish People. This unaffiliated blog is the product of an individual studied in Jewish matters. More at http://JewishBohemian.com

Israeli Elections

Yet, the Rambam cautions even in the middle way one should go in the middle way—meaning, not to be dogmatic because at times the extremes are valuable.
