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 to V . nna Murder '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.
