Some believe Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church. Some believe Babylon to be colonizers, the rich and powerful. Sinead’s “Babylon” is about child abuse (she herself [...]

Beneath her cracked and bare feet.
The woman comes to the well
limping over scattered bones.
She is weary and tired.
And this life grinds upon her,
This life of endless toil
She is weary and [...]

Struggling when other Jews rebuffed her efforts to say Kaddish for the father of whom she was the only child, Heschel found an explanation of her experience in Beyond God the Father.
