De este modo no solo se refuta o se neutraliza el presunto antisemitismo de Heidegger, sino que se aprovechan sus aportaciones filosóficas para comunicar las enseñanzas hebreas de la Torá en la lengua vernácula «griega» del pensamiento.
Vittorio Klostermann, 2020

Positions have been taken, defended, and are not likely to be moved. While his conservative apologists will not tolerate any criticism directed towards Heidegger, others are wont to indifferently settle everything the philosopher thought against his political statements. More balanced interpretations tend to be attacked by both sides. No explicitly Jewish voice, however, has so far been heard on the controversial question of whether Heidegger took an anti-Semitic position in the "Schwarze Hefte". In his book „Kabale. Das Geheimnis des Hebräischen Humanismus im Lichte von Heideggers Denken“, Michael Chighel, who lives in Jerusalem, dedicates an intensive investigation to Heidegger's comments on Judaism which yields surprising insights. According to Chighel, the real problem of these infamous statements is not anti-Semitism, but rather another aspect of Heidegger's relationship...

Stylistically employing a kind of neo-expressionistic suggestivism, Raanan allows Jewish themes to emerge out of a free-style mannerism with multimedia painting. The genial achievement is a kind of incandescence suggestive of the Ohr Ein Sof (Infinite Light).

A philosophico-hassidic reflection on the Jewish custom of kissing sefarim.

Din păcate, limba mamei mele este ceva ceam vorbit cu nimeni afara de mama mea şi două sau trei alte persoane. Astfel, competenţele mele lingvistice sunt la nivelul de un băiat de zece sau unsprezece ani. Cu câteva cuvinte în limba engleză sofisticate care am reuşit să strecoare înauntru cu un accent mai românesc.
Melancholia (mara shehorah) as a spiritual catalyst in Chabad spiritual praxis.
The virtue of virtual of reality considered from the standpoint of the Sefer Yetzirah.
The theme of shtus dikdusha, "holy folly," in Chabad thought.
