while a student at Cornell
further influenced his di-
rection towards the Kab-
bala studies.
At, the University of
Michigan and the pursuing
studies of Gershom Scholem
increased his curiosities.
It was his address before
the American Psychiatric
Association in 1978 on the
subject "The Kabbala and
Humanistic Psychology"
that was the commence-
ment of his present ex-
panded work.
Therefore, the emphasis
in his studies of dreams,
sexuality, community life,
health, emotions, died and
related subjects as they are
dealt with by the kabbalis-
tic trends in Judaism.
Dr. Hoffman's conten-
tion is that while most
scholars avoided delving
into the Kabbala, to avoid
being linked with cul-
tism, that Sigmund Freud
was interested in the
Kabbala.
Commencing with a quo-
tation from Nachman of
Bratslav, "Where
philosophy ends, there the
widsom of Kabbala begins,"
Dr. Hoffman offers this de-
finition:
"Dating back to the Mid-
dle Ages, the term Kabbala
comes from the Hebrew
root-word 'to receive.' It in-
corporates a massive, de-
tailed, and coherent world
view of our relation to the
universe. Metaphysical dis-
courses of immense power
are combined with specific
methods for how we can go
beyond our daily, mundane
frame of mind.
"Yet, its ultimate origins
are lost in the ruins of an-
tiquity, as it has become in-
creasingly clear that from
its very inception about
4,000 years ago, Judaism
has nearly always possessed
and esoteric side."
Dr. Hoffman's scholarly
approach, which emerges
into a devotion to his sub-
ject, makes "The Way of
Splendor" a work filled with
the most effective details in-
Puencing increased interest
rft. the Kabbala. His book
em' es as authoritative
both result of the exten-
sive studs by the author as
well as his devotion to the
subject.
Arab onfesses

'VIENNA — Husham
Rajih, who was detained by
Austrian authorities follow-
ing an attack on a Vienna
synagogue in August, has
confessed to the killing of
Heinz Nittel, a Vienna city
councilor with close ties to
Israel.
Rajih told Austrian police
that he had acted for a
breakaway hard-line Pales-
tinian group headed by Abu
Nidal in killing Nittel, head
of the Austria-Israel
Friendship Society, outside
his home last May.
A man who finds a satis-
faction in himself, seeks for
it in vain elsewhere.
