"Each Tsiddik has a special derekh, a special way of dealing with God and the Hassidim, and this derekh is expressed in prayers, melodies, teaching, everyday behavior...yet, for all his powers, a Tsiddik cannot function alone...to be nearer heaven, he must feel the burden of earth, and the earthly element is in the daily life, the tsores and troubles of the Hassidim."
-From :"Life is With People: The Culture of the Shetl"
Welcome! You have accidentally reached the blog of a heteroclite follower of Jesus: dave wainscott. I'm "pushing toward the unobvious" as I post thinkings/linkings re: Scripture, church and culture. Hot topics include: temple tantrums, time travel, sexuality/spirituality, U2kklesia, role of the pastor, God-haunted music/art..and subversive videos like these.
