ABOUT ME

I grew up Orthodox Jewish (Hasidic), and I am trying to re-connect to my families heritage via tradition, but also try to live a lifestyle impressed by Buddhist teachings.

I love music - immensely. Growing up religious, spiritual songs and hymns were a part of my upbringing and has made a lasting impression. I am fascinated by native music, and would love to learn more about dif. people's traditional music. I can share some of my own, and can even sing a few.

I love to share my thoughts, beliefs, traditions - and would love to hear yours.

PHILOSOPHY

I could (would love to) spend hours on philosophical inquiries, from free-will to the existence of God. But for the sake of simplicity, I boil it all down to two fundamental philosophies.

Between a person and him/herself: "Know thy Self"

Between one person to another: "Be Good. Do Good."

CURRENT MISSION

To misquote Ram Dass:
I don't know why I'm here, but as I am currently a "person", I want to try and do "peopling" as well as I can.

To live honestly and fairly. Create sacred spaces and experiences. Generate more happiness in humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
