Martin Buber:  What did he write about adultery?  (if anything)

Hello,

The following is from a Unitarian sermon:

"But this is not what at least the Jewish tradition teaches at all.
Take the example of guilt--one of the topics addressed by the Jewish
theologian and philosopher Martin Buber. Buber wrote in his moving
essay "Healing Through Meeting" about how dangerous it is to
understand guilt as a purely psychological phenomenon. He felt it was
important that to acknowledge that guilt is not an emotion without a
referent; but that guilt in some real ways spoke the truth about an
actually existing state. He gives in that essay the example of a woman
who committed adultery, and went to a Freudian psychoanalyst in order
to be purged of her guilty feelings. Buber reports that indeed, the
Freudian psychoanalyst was able to resolve for the woman her guilty
feelings--but that since the resolution of those feelings took place
only inside of the woman's subjective sense of the world, not in the
world itself, the woman was herself cheated of a true
reconciliation--a reconciliation that would have taken her into the
world--a reconciliation that would have demanded that she repair the
relationships that she damaged."

Unfortunately, I didn't find "Healing Through Meeting" itself online,
so we're relying on secondhand evidence here. But it seems Buber finds
adultery to be a pretty bad thing.

looking at me."? Quoted in Maurice Friedman ed Martin Buber's Life and
Work: The Later Years 1945-65 Dutton 84
"Justice and Christianity stand with each other in the mystery of our
Father and Judge: So the Jew may speak of the Christian or the
Christian of the Jew not otherwise than in fear and trembling before
the mystery of God. On this foundation alone can genuine understanding
exist between Jew and Christian."? Quoted by Maurice Friedman Martin

"In Jewry, the way which leads to that promised time, the way of man's
contribution to ultimate fulfillment, is whenever one generation
encounters the next, whenever the generation which has reached its
full development transmits the teachings to the generation which is
still in the process of developing, so that the teachings
spontaneously waken to new life in the new generation."? The Writings
of Martin Buber Meridian 56
