The big bang serves as the scientific Creation myth of our culture. What does it have to do with God? How can it help us discover a spiritual dimension in our lives and recover a sense of wonder? In answering these questions, I draw on the insights of Jewish mysticism as well as contemporary cosmology. I suggest several parallels, e.g., between what physicists call “broken symmetry” and what Kabbalah calls “the breaking of the vessels.” But my purpose is not to demonstrate that 13th-century kabbalists knew what cosmologists are now discovering. Rather, in juxtaposing these two distinct approaches--scientific and spiritual--I experiment with seeing each in light of the other. Spirituality and science are two tools of understanding that should not be confused; each is valid in its domain. Occasionally, though, their insights resonate. By sensing these resonances, our understanding deepens, nourished by mind and heart.
