I just was looking at a photo of me with
Goldie Milgram taken at the 2011 Kallah.
I have been working for a couple days on
follow up healing feelings and making a video
from the 2011 Kallah. I attended a couple
of the last days at the University of Redlands,
within driving distance of my community
in San Diego.
I have feeling weary, but I started to look
at this photo of me and Goldie, so I called her
to say, "I love you!"
Dr. Bernard Jensen, my spiritual father,
once told a story that he learned from his mom
who died at an early age.
We love for ourselves. It always feels good
to say "I love you!" when you feel that.
Goldie was in a meeting when I called her cell,
but took a few moments. She is very gracious
and sensitive.
She was instrumental in my Kallah Journey
of Healing that happened this past weekend
between July 1-July 3, 2011.
I spent yesterday, July 4 and refining it
today and doing a lot of writing about
the Kallah 2011 experience.
I just went on an internet search for the
birthday of this remarkable woman.

This is a photo with Debra Kolodny, the new Rabbi at the Jewish
Renewal community in Portland She is moving on from being
the executive director of ALEPH. I met her through the work
she was doing years ago on the Sacred Foods Project through ALEPH.
This photo was taken on July 3 at the Closing Ceremony.
THE FARM?
ARRIVING IN THE PROMISED LAND
I went with AriellaShira Lewis And Gloria Krasno
twp ALEPH Kallah veterans.
I heard upon arrival at the University of Redlands,
through talking to the staff in the kitchen how they supported
Organic food, a cornerstone of Sacred Foods.
They bought local organic foods
from farmers. They had a farm right off campus
where the students grew organic food that the kitchen would
buy. It took determination to find the Farm. For future reference,
This treasure called the University of Redlands Sustainability Farm (URSF)
is located behind the
Brockton Avenue Apartments
at the back far end of a fenced gate
within view of the Soccer Field.
The Brochton Avenue Apartments are located at the corner
of Grove Street and Blockton Avenue north of the
soccer field (307) on this map.
SACRED FOOD PROJECT
My spirit is asking that I rejuvenate the Sacred Food Project
This was on my list of intentions when I attended the final
couple days of the Kallah.
I knew that to make progress I would have to step through
some Original Pain Work reflected in a handful of relationships
I left uncooked at the Kallah back in 1997,
At the Kallah I saw a new generation of youth
that needs to be supported now, and made some
new allies.
I am willing to do the Soul Growth
that I might continue to serve my purpose.

Dear Leslie:
Just saw the video and your blog re Kallah.
I deeply admire your approach to healing.
The honest way you spoke your truth and points of wounding
with Jewish renewal in the past.
When you told me about your "planting dreams" work
with the school students, I recognized our friendship
would blossom with the years.
That is the kind of supportive education
that is so needed. Tears flow as I reflect we would not have met
if not for our courage to come and confront, discuss,
connect and reconnect. Your gifts are
so timely for Jewish renewal and all peoples.
I look forward to future connections."
God made a rainbow covenant
in the heavens with each of us.
How is it that there are so
many rainbow colors
on earth reflected
in all our flowers,
fruits, herbs, and vegetables?
Our health and happiness
comes out of partaking
in the full rainbow
of flowers and foods.
This fulfills our part
in the covenant.
Started July 6, early in the morning.
Healing proceeding through completing
the video. There was a tremendous rainbow
in the sky July 6, an hour after I finished
the Video. I wrote more on this Blog today.
Sunday morning, I set out to find that farm.
It is located in back of the Brockton Avenue Apartments.
People on campus said the Gate would be locked,
but I found it open although no one was there
but we who entered.
A GREAT INTERFAITH MINISTRY
IS DESCRIBED HERE IN RABBI ARYEH HIRSHFIELD
I felt the presence of Rabbi Aryeh Hirshfield, the former rabbi of Portland with me during my journey
to the Kallah. I took his CD with me. He was one of my favorite
Jewish Renewal rabbis, and died in the Ocean in January 2009.
This is a remedy I have been using to work with bioenergetic patterns
carried from generation to generation in the bloodstream.
It was recommended to be by Richard Katz of the Flower Essence Society
last March.
I highly recommend this to all who wish to work with their
own bioenergetic patterns embedded in our Jewish experience.
