Ofir Nuriel - Conversations from the Vacated Space ～
Ofir Nuriel is one of the people I love the most in the entire world. They say he has a learning disability and therefore needs to be in a rehabilitation setting, but in my opinion he is a genius. Our world is upside down. That's clear. The upper ones are down and the lower ones are up. The real righteous are hidden, and it's better to stay away from the visible righteous. For a living, he sorts screws into small bags and arranges shelves at the electric company, but in every free moment he has, he fills the world with spirit and inspiration. He writes the most beautiful and true texts anyone writes in this period, and fortunately, two volumes have already been printed. Without papers, without flattery, without renovations. From soul to soul. From existence to the universe. In addition, every day he sends me and Facebook excerpts of existential poetry and prose, and moving performances, righteous men from the past together with poets of our time, Rabbi Nachman and Agi Mishol, 'Zeho Zeho' and Rabbi Froman, Meir Ariel and Assi Dayan, and countless other true righteous men.
