ufaratzdah, such missionary zeal … outreach,

soul saving on college campuses & ashrams,

helping students find their path, opening

new gates. Your only requirement- integrity -

encouraging uniqueness, no 'one size fits all’

Yiddishkeit for you, Zalman! & we of the 60’s,

we needed that too (maybe we still need that).

we needed to know that the God that we worshipped

was our unique piece of the hologram,

needed to know that this piece was kosher,

that it was necessary. you were our mashgiach,

sanctifying personal inquiries & discoveries, ennobling us

(& provoking change in yourself) as you journeyed beside us,

learning more than you ever possibly could on your own.

experience was our teacher, & yours, 'experience junkies’

you might say, in the best sense of that phrase.

what got us high - got you high - what turned you on - turned us on.
such reciprocity,

such shared learning. today we might call

that rebbe craft, the art of learning how to serve God & the world
 … our Kavanah

our inheritance.
