Psychoanalysis was born from and within a Jewish sociocultural context; Freud famously referred to himself as a “godless Jew”. Is there room for those analysts for whom faith is an integral part of their lives? Is there room in psychoanalysis for consideration of a religious-spiritual life without simply dismissing it as psychopathology? This author describes his efforts to integrate his life as an observant Jew with another personal passion – that of psychoanalysis. The paper describes parallels between a rabbinic midrashic approach to texts and more contemporary psychoanalytic understanding of deconstructing narratives. Examples drawn from both Biblical and clinical accounts are used to illustrate such similarities.
