Opis

Judaism openly recognizes, as an integral part of human nature, the enigmatic relationship between yetzer, or physical desire, and yetzirah, or spiritual creativity. Creativity and Sexuality, written as a fi ctional dialogue, clearly delineates the psychic interdependence of these two drives, as well as the integration of the concepts as they are defi ned by both Jewish mysticism and modern psychology.
