But in his late teens, he abruptly broke away and set off into secular Israeli society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating, courageous and compelling autobiography, Elbaum seeks to understand his decision and its consequences. With the structure of Kabbalah as his road map, Elbaum journeys into the deep recesses of his self and his soul. The ultimate goal of his journey is \"the Void,\" a Kabbalistic space that precedes God's creation of the world, and a psychological state that precedes our formation as individuals. It is a space of great vulnerability but also of hope for rebirth and renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an intimate, honest, revealing work, both deeply personal and strikingly universal.
