    Dear Jeni,

    >> Thank You for reminding me to ask about the circle because the thing
    that I could not get was where to cast it. Is it outside of the circle
    of the participants and inside the temle walls. When I did it I cast
    inside and outside the temle about three feet to be sure and that felt
    right but I am open to some feedback here from anyone. <<

    As Aleksander pointed out, in the scripted meditation rituals the only
    time *you* are casting a circle is during the Geburah ritual. At all
    other times during the scripted rituals, *I* take care of the circle
    casting. However, for the sake of your visualizations, I cast the
    circle *within* the Temple enclosure. Best would be to visualize the
    circle butting up against the Temple walls.

    However, when you are visiting the Temples on your own *apart from the
    scripted rituals*, then you should cast your circle however seems most
    fitting for *you*. :)

    >> I am not worried about the Hebrew yet and just assume that all will
    be revealed in time. <<

    I tried to keep the Hebrew words to a minimum (i.e., to just the names
    of the Sephirot and God/dess names), tried my best to define their
    meaning in English and provide some sort of rudimentary pronunciation
    guide. Unfortunately that was a bit short-sighted of me. ;-) I've
    just made a note to myself to publish an audio file in which I speak all
    the Hebrew words in the 8T so folks will have a more visceral example of
    how to pronounce them. :)

    >> I don't know how one would study Hebrew. <<

    If you're truly interested, the best way would be to check with your
    local synagogue for Hebrew classes. Alternately, in my online
    Bibliography, you'll find a list for an excellent self-study book.

    My best to you,
