"...a device for orienting ourselves to distant realities even when we are in a deep diaspora"
"Daniel is not among those who goes back to the holy land. He preferred to stay in his new home, among the majority of Jews, but nevertheless kept orienting his heart towards this sacred center."
-- and the feeling of being at home *in* deep diaspora
and the image in the lines from Yehuda Amichai and from yourself dear Amichai, of being *in* Jerusalem and still orienting to an ancient shining ideal of Jerusalem

Hi Amichai,
The emails are not legible. Once I figured out how to open them in the browser, I could read it. Thanks for your responsiveness!
Same for me.
Hi Amichai, the posts are legible in the browser, but not on email.
Powerfully cogent (and legible) words for our turbulent times. Thank you, Rabbi!
Email was redacted to me. Do you know who did this?
Great reminder! Inspiring of you to mention it!
Am feeling into these phrases:

First was legible. This one too.
Good stuff.
Hello Amichai, I only use email and your posting is legible for me.
