From the second link above:

“I was completely dumbfounded but I actually had this vision of … of Jesus, and I’m sure it was Jesus.” Anticipating a raised eyebrow, she adds quickly: “But it wasn’t this crazy theological thing; it was just this figure who was the most perfected human being – full of light and full of love. And completely accessible. Any of us could be like that. There was light coming out of him holographically, simply because he was unclouded. But any of us could become that as human beings.”

...

The experience has made her happier than ever. She’s anxious about the repercussions of going public on her life-altering moment, but insists that her commitment to feminism remains as strong as ever . “ I don’t want to be co-opted as the poster child for any religion or any agenda,” she adds. “ There are a lot of people out there just waiting for some little Jewish feminist to cross over. I so much want to distance this from Christianity. It has nothing to do with any religion whatsoever.” But in the meantime Wolf has been doing some intensive reading about what the rabbi Jesus had to say, as a Jew “not as this whole Christian construct but as a teacher and a social activist, as a rabbi and as a healer”.

I hope in her searching she truly comes to know Jesus as he really is, and not just as the political symbol she may be trying to make of him.

Good luck with all that. If Jesus wasn't the Christ, the Son of the Everliving God, then he was a madman. One can't divorce the study of Christ's words and deeds from his identity as God, the Second Person of the Trinity who rose from the dead for the forgivness of our sins.

If Ms. Wolf is as smart as we're told she is, then she'll no doubt come to that conclusion on her own.
