Letter to My Son Joseph Israel
Son of Elijah Aryeh Laurence Moses Isaac
Son of Adolf the Jew
I am not a lonely man of faith or as lonely as Franz Kafka. A man of faith by definition is never alone and Kafka was lonely only in the portrayals of his acquaintances. Kafka never sent his Letter to His Father. I am sending the following to my son.
Dearest Son:
I know that you are not afraid of me and this is my greatest joy. You inspire this memoir with your keen interest in all things German, including mastery of the language and a possible homecoming. Are we German Jews? Will I be accepted as a citizen? Will you settle in Freiberg?
My intent in raising you was to let you discover the identity of your name. Joseph, Minister of Agriculture in Egypt, Minister of Finance and finally Prime Minister. I confess I did not imagine your descent to Diaspora would lead you to Germany, but now it is all beginning to make some sense.

Isaac Unbound
My unbinder is Rabbi Edwin R. Friedman.
More than Zalman Schacter Shalomi or David Hartman or Chiam Brovender or Adin Steinsaltz or Alexander Guttman he taught me how to live in my head, my body, and the world.
Unbound, I proclaim:
The Germans and all Amalekites make themselves irrelevant.
No leaders.
No followers.
The People of the Earth walk together, side by side.
No masters and no disciples,
All are called to rabbi and minister.
My editors and supporters will come forward and receive their free education and donate all that is needed to complete the work.
The Messiah will teach us to find the Messiah within.
The Kingdom of heaven is without and within.
The Kingdom of Heaven is no longer a Kingdom or Queendom
but a Am Ha aretz, The People of the Earth.
(M)Adam from Adama.
All of this is in my Final Age Testament.
It is finished.
Time to begin.
