Memories of the Righteous

No, I am not doing well. Baruch haDayan Emet.

One of my Rabbinic teachers died over the weekend. Teacher of meditation and silence, author of books that explained like "Ecstatic Kabbalah" and "God is a Verb". I had wanted to attend one of those silent retreats, and not just Zoom meetings during class.

May the memories of the Righteous serve as an eternal blessing, and a moment of silence for R' David A. Cooper, leader of meditation retreats and worker with interfaith meditation teachers including Sufi Islam and Buddhism.

Genre idea: sword and SCROLL

Via discussion on Ysabetwordsmith's post https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/11911541.html :

Thank you, you just gave me an idea for me, and your Clay of Life poems (http://penultimateproductions.weebly.com/clay-of-life.html ) could overlap: sword and scroll, for a traveling Kabbalah scholar with a family member bodyguard and I think I'm going to write a tumtum scholar. <3

From the post: genre would benefit from more variety, too. Look at the sword & soul variation, which is African-inspired sword & sorcery. You can do that with any culture.

Song about Kabbalah and Sefirot

What is remembered, lives. Rev Zalman helped this survive, when he was a teen who ran from the Nazis with his parents and family.

Please share this further, it has both the original Hebrew in writing and song, and a new singable English translation:
