The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times

Behmidbar - A Schrift about Nothing - Episode 30

Seinfeld was not a show about nothing. Rather, it was a show about trivialities, trifles, mundane occurrences. This is not nothing. Nothing, in fact, is a lot more complicated -- and, according to Kabbalah, a lot more holy.

One show which really may have been about nothing was Kafka's short story "The Hunger Artist," published in 1922.

Nothingness is not an empty white room, or a black void, or a nihilist's favorite buzzword. Rather, it is a concept which stretches the limits of human imagination.

If you can find nothingness, prepare to be whelmed, if not overwhelmed.

It is not a coincidence that it was in the desert, the realm of pure nothingness, where the ancient Hebrews formed their vast army to eventually conquer Israel.
