Because therapy, too, is full of Jewish presences that cannot be seen but still shape my encounters with clients. Buber: The Sacred EncounterMartin Buber, a Jewish philosopher and theologian, was not a therapist but changed therapy nonetheless. Perls: The Urgency of the PresentFritz Perls, born to a Jewish family in Berlin, co-founded Gestalt therapy.

And maybe this is the thread that ties Sinai to the therapy room: that we are never only ourselves in the work of seeking wisdom.
