Hebrew Name Of Yahweh-adam Kadmon

“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted: he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18
We grieve and mourn with all our Jewish sisters and brothers in Pittsburgh and throughout the world, in these days of the most recent murders and ongoing tragedy. As we approach November 2, the day of the Holy Souls , we beg them from their place near God, to intercede for us and give us the Wisdom to end the increasing daily violence due to the blindness of prejudice and bigotry.
The Name of God, Yahweh
“I am that I am”
“The special Name of God that was given to Moses, in vertical arrangement, as the likeness of Adam Kadmon, the primordial (human) man... This figure of the Kavod or Divine Glory... composed of fire is spoken of in Ezekiel as the appearance of a man... the Divine Name as Adam Kadmon.”
– From the book Kabbalah by Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi
Whenever I do a power point presentation I always begin with this powerful image for us to contemplate. For me, it is the burning presence of God inside us all.
