Neshomeh

The Performer has a name. Neshomeh. The Yiddish word for soul. (In Hebrew, neshamah.)

Love this from an article called DNA and Neshamah: Locating the Soul in the Age of Molecular Medicine:

In his new book on eschatology—that is Greek for the study of the World to Come, Olam Haba—the eminent Anglican theologian-scientist John Polkinghorne defines the soul as “the information-bearing pattern carried by the matter of the body."

The information-bearing pattern carried by the matter of the body. Yeah.
