Abstract
How does a Jew to whom God never spoke in a synagogue, who has wandered the three worlds and the paths of other religions seeking direct experience of the sacred, stumble upon it in her own tradition? How does a woman, whose life was transformed by the Women’s Movement, get past her issues with the patriarchal God of the Jews? Lowinsky tells the story of how Jung, or the Jungian worldview, helped her find her meandering way home to Judaism. Jung’s writings, writings about the Kabbalah, and her own poetry and dreams were sign posts on the journey. In the old Catalan town of Gerona, which once housed a thriving Jewish community, she stumbled upon the ghost of a thirteenth-century Kabbalist, Nahmanides, who initiated her into a deep experience of mystical Judaism.
