Jewish Women G D
1,947 wordsWhen G-d first told Moshe to prepare the Jews to receive the Torah, He commanded him, "This is what you shall say to the House of Yaakov and speak to the Children of Israel. " (Sheet 19: 3). Our Sages explain that "the House of Yaakov" refers to Jewish women, and "the Children of Israel" to the men. G-d told Moshe to approach the women first. This order implies a sense of priority: for the Torah to be perpetuated among the Jewish people, precedence must be given to Jewish women. Three fundamenta...

Jewish Tradition G D
1,957 wordsThis is a far more difficult question than you might expect. Judaism has no dogma, no formal set of beliefs that one must hold to be a Jew. In Judaism, actions are far more important than beliefs, although there is certainly a place for belief within Judaism. The closest that anyone has ever come to creating a widely-accepted list of Jewish beliefs is Rambam's thirteen principles of faith. Rambam's thirteen principles of faith, which he thought were the minimum requirements of Jewish belief, are...

18 Th Century Roman Empire
1,031 words... never debasing or cruel. (619). Slavery seems to be more humane under the patriarchs then it would become in ancient Greek or Rome or under the slave trade to the New World but it still existed, even among Gods chosen people. Supporters of slavery often quoted Ephesians 5: 6 and Colossians 3: 22, which say Slaves, obey your earthly masters. This is the most blatant passage in the Bible supporting slavery. It was passages like these that lead Karl Marx to call religion the opiate of the masse...

And, in our place as fellow victims of our own all too human nature, have we any right to pass judgement on those who do the same as we do, if with less discretion? If so, this begs the question of whether morality lies in following the social more...

Eventually Lead Jewish Community
1,951 wordsThe task of simply just surviving is for most of us a handful in itself in this life. However, only a few in a life time choose not to be satisfied with only just survival rather they assume the yoke of redefining life for themselves and for others. In philosophy of religion, pantheism is usually in conflict with traditional religious authority, which claims that the pantheistic belief is nothing more than a blasphemous form of idolatrous worship. A man by the name Benedictus (Baruch) Spinoza to...

Issue Of Abortion Life Of The Mother
1,181 wordsThe issue of abortion has been debated for centuries and will surely continue to be a major topic of debate. Some see abortion as murder of an innocent child, others believe that the fetus is not yet a human and therefore can be aborted. Most of the world religions have a view of abortion, some religious laws allow it while others condemn the act. Abortion in the eyes of religion is a major conflict that is closely related to God and his sole ability to create and destroy life. Judaism is one of...

The Messiah will indeed be a king from the house of David who will gather the scattered of Israel together, but the order of the world will not be radically changed by his coming" (Chevannes, Ideology 138).

Role Models Entire World
1,995 wordsRole models surround us; they are those who possess the qualities that we would like to have and those who have affected us in a way that makes us want to be better people, to advocate for ourselves and our goals and take leadership on the issues that we believe in. We often don't recognize our true role models until we have noticed our own personal growth and progress. In the midst of the modern world, we often look to our matriarchs and patriarchs for moral guidance. Just as we look to them as...

1,534 wordsIt is not irrelevant nor is it fair to respond to the mirage of childish bickering that just frustrated the last half hour of my day without mentioning the more than obvious biases of the writers involved in their respective fields.

Allah Of The To Yahweh Torah
1,322 wordsAllah of the Koran and Yahweh (Jehovah) of the Torah are the main deities of the two worlds popular religions Islam and Judaism. The fact that the two religions were created in close geographic proximity led to the unification of certain traditions and principles as well as enmity of the two religions and deities. Some scholars claim that Allah and Jehovah are the same while others state that they are completely different. In the following essay I am going to speak about the similarities as well...

Time And Space One God
1,615 words... can make God plural, in Judaism God is considered to be absolutely simple. He is omnipotent and doesn't consist of any matter. As far as he is not material, he is called Holy and Pure. God in Torah is the Creator of space and time, but he is not a part of them. It is very difficult for our conscience to describe and comprehend things that are not material or which don't belong to space or time, that's why the essence of god is unknowable in Torah. And if Torah uses such expressions as 'the H...

G D Chapter 1
1,923 wordsI know of a story where a 12 year old boy secretly studied the Kabbalah and meditation under a rabbi. So do not worry, you are in like company (Wallace). Mystical traditions hold a secret that not everyone can experience. Stories can be read, pictures can be seen, and accounts of mystics (those who practice these traditions) can be professed, but nothing will compare to emotion and passion in the experience itself. The mind of a mystic can be viewed as one gone mad. Or is that merely the title o...

19 Th Century Economic And Political
2,991 wordsThe process of emancipation, and the period of enlightenment which preceded it, was a painful and traumatic experience for the Jewish people. The steady, but uneven, progress from pariah to citizen was achieved only in Western Europe and involved the rejection and transformation of an ancient way of life which had served the Jew well in all his times of trouble. The enlightened Jewish intellectuals viewed this change as not only inevitable but absolutely necessary if the Jews were to survive bot...
