Awakening to a New Day

R. Ya'akov Nagan (AKA Jack Genack) has a blog in Hebrew named Awakening to a New Day: The Jewish Spiritual Search from East to West. I always expected him to go the way of academic Talmud study but according to his bio he is "an instructor in the Hesder Yeshiva in Otniel, has a doctorate in Jewish Thought from Hebrew University and is involved in spiritual search, kabbalah and the relationship between Judaism and eastern religions."
