S5:E6 Rabbi Joey attempts to find the lynchpin that ensures the existence of the gap between the finite and the infinite on this episode of Inward. For Izhbitz/Radzyn the key can be found in their conception of lack. As opposed to the typical vision of lack as a deficiency that results from some fall from grace and perfection, lack is seen as a fundamental element of human subjectivity. Lack existed prior to any human error, and as such should be seen as a constitutive element that forms rather than disrupts the human experience. There exists within each and every individual qua human being an essential lack around which their subjectivity is formed. For Izhbitz/Radzyn the goal is not to overcome this lack by filling it with some external substance, but rather to confront the lack, living in and through it to find one's ownmost spiritual form. ***** This podcast is supported in part from a grant from the Hadar Institute.

S5:E5 On a new episode of Inward, Rabbi Joey describes the psychological mood that emerges from the doubtful nature of being and the questioning that is born there. For Izhbitz/Radzyn the fact that questions will ultimately always remain unanswerable is symptomatic of the nature of the soul. No matter how far along the rungs of spiritual development the subject moves, there will always be a gap that persists between the finite creation and Infinite Creator. This space - which remains relative to each individual according to their own particular situatedness - assures that the ultimate spiritual gesture remains faith as opposed to knowledge. This leads to the Izhbitz/Radzyn alignment with the negative theological impulse inherent in Jewish mysticism and philosophy which sees the possibility of truly grasping the essence of the Infinite as an impossibility. Instead of leading to hopelessness and despair, the ultimate truth that there will always be a distance between the finite and the infinite leads to the spa
