SubscribeField of Life, Fields of Dreams
Earlier this year I did a story on artist Dov Abramson and his rendering of the Kabala’s “Field of Life” in a baseball idiom. He equated the 10 “sefirot” with positions on a balfield (plus one for the first base umpire).
This is the “original” design:
Compare that with this essay by Reb Reuven Goldfarb.
The major differences are almost strategic, with Abramson positioning the Yesod on the mound, the Tiphareth at second, and the Chesed as the first base umpire. Goldfarb, on the other hand, is more “offensive minded”: His Yesod is in the batter’s box, with the Chesed at second and Tiphareth pitching.
That’s one of the wonderful things about Judaism: the ability to interpret.
