Shabat Haazinu The true Simhat Torah, rejoicing in the Torah, is a process that is progressively improved by better explaining the Torah to ourselves and to the nations of the world. Although Maimonides' opinion was expressed in the context of the descendants of Noah (to exclude the category of ger-toshav), he surely considered praiseworthy the intellectual efforts of any Jew who could combine the elements of faith and understanding into an "understanding of the faith," a rational basis for his Judaism. As Jews, we must protect the balance between our particularism and our universal role, between Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret, for the Torah is comprised of the Law of Moses and the Law of the Noahides. www.biu.ac.il /JH/Parasha/eng/haazinu/Sukkot.html   (1207 words)

Ph. Guillaume, The Last Stages of the Making of the Nebiim: A Mea Culpa and a NewAlexandrian Canon Hypothesis Since the studies by Beckwith For now it is enough to note that although the Nebiim seem to react against a pre-existing Chronography by imposing a prophetic category upon it, the canonizing paradigm of the Nebiim comes nevertheless from Alexandria[127]. For Matthew, Scriptures are the Torah and Nebiim, but for Luke it is the Alexandrian Torah and Chronography, which means that the two were in competition with each other. Rather than fusing the Prophets into the Torah, Ben Sira upholds the Torah as the sum of Wisdom (Sira 24:23) while affirming that the Torah is not self-sufficient but should be studied in light of wisdom and prophets (Sira 39:1-3)[96]. www.arts.ualberta.ca /JHS/Articles/article_39.htm   (1207 words)

Judaism 101: Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws This is the only dietary law that has a reason specified in Torah: we do not eat blood because the life of the animal is contained in the blood. The short answer to why Jews observe these laws is: because the Torah says so. Some have suggested that the laws of kashrut fall into the category of "chukkim," laws for which there is no reason. www.jewfaq.org /kashrut.htm   (3288 words)

Jewish, Jewish, Everywhere, & not a drop to drink Hebrew is a uniquely defined language that has survived in all its fullness, whereas nothing or very little is known about Canaanites and their languages barring what the Torah (Bible) records. For example, it is enough to have, for example, Modern Hebrew language belonging ONLY to Category:Hebrew language because (according to you at any rate)on the Category:Hebrew language page it is then listed as a sub-category of Category:Canaanite languages. Hebrew was the common everyday language of the Israelite masses from the time they conquered the land of Canaan until the end of the First Commonwealth with the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE. simshalom.blogspot.com /2004_07_01_simshalom_archive.html   (15473 words)

Parshat Tzav 5764 - Torah Tidbits - OU.ORG It has been suggested that if one employs category 3 and the other category 2 identification, the object should be given to the one who employs category 3. Although stringency on Pesach has positive elements and times exist when one has cause to consider where he should be eating, it is neither healthy nor halachically warranted in our case to preclude such a large group of Jews from hostinganother large group (see Rashi, Yevamot 88a). The wording of the announcement The wording of the announcement must not be so obvious in its description of the object that a dishonest person may attempt to claim it, nor must the language be so obscure that the owner will not realize that his object has been found. www.ou.org /torah/tt/5764/tzav64/print.htm   (15473 words)

sheitel.doc Since the concept that avodah zarah is not boteil is a rabbinic injunction and not a Torah law, one may be lenient when it is uncertain that there is a prohibition. There are several mitzvohs of the Torah pertaining to Avodah Zarah, all of them to convey the Torah’s concerns that we be extensively distanced from Avodah Zarah. Hinduism is a religion that falls under the category of Avodah Zarah. www.cs.columbia.edu /~spotter/sheitel/sheitel.doc   (15473 words)

Encyclopedia: Judaism Notably, in Orthodox Judaism some principles of faith (e.g., the Divine origin of the Torah) are considered important enough that public rejection of them can put one in the category of "apikoros" (heretic). In contrast to the Orthodox religious view of the Hebrew Bible, critical biblical scholars also suggest that the Torah consists of a variety of inconsistent texts that were edited together in a way that calls attention to divergent accounts (see Documentary hypothesis). Orthodox Jews claim that it is expressed directly in Torah (the Hebrew Bible), where God incorporates it into the Ten Commandments: "...I am the Lord your God. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Judaism   (9188 words)

Congregation Rodfei Sholom Synagogue, San Antonio, Texas Beyond the 39 Torah categories of activity which are prohibited on the Sabbath, and Shevus, the rabbinic prohibitions, there is a category of "Uvda D'Choln, activities which erode the sacred character of the Sabbath. Some familiar items in this category are umbrellas, pocketbooks, wallets, money, coupons, tickets, tokens, cigarettes, matches, tools, writing implements, etc. Any activity which is inimical to the spirit of the Sabbath and, therefore, violates its sanctity remains strictly prohibited. We, therefore, urge all parents and teachers to impress upon the children the limited nature of an Eruv. www.ou.org /network/shuls/rodfei/eruv.html   (88 words)

Mark R. Sunwall, Maimonides & Rand Indeed, Maimonides is not overly concerned with the ethnological specifics of who was or was not a "Sabian." This is because his major intent is to develop the category of "Sabian" as a type which can be employed in solving the historical riddles of the relationship of monotheism to its pagan environment. However Maimonides' boldest stroke occurs where he indicates that the ritualistic provisions of the Torah are in general a concession and a compensation to a community which was still in a transitional state between idolatry and monotheism. Maimonides provides several source documents for the study of the Torah, which is, according to Judaism, the original revelation of God to the human race. www.friesian.com /sunwall.htm   (14679 words)

Spark of the Week 5756-22: The False Prophet Rav Chisda argues that the source for this category is also Devarim 18:20, specifically the section of the verse that refers to the false prophet that states fraudulently that he speaks in the name of G-d. Since the Torah's laws are eternal, one who declares that he was told by Hashem, through prophecy, that a mitzvah is no longer binding must be falsely presenting himself as one who has been addressed by G-d. There is also scriptural indication, in Devarim 13:3, of the existence of a category of navi sheker when one, even as a prophet in the name of Hashem, calls for the practice of avodah zarah. www.nishma.org /articles/insight/spark5756-22.html   (904 words)

integrate: Hillel & Shammai It happened that a certain heathen came before Shammai and said to him, "Convert me on condition that you teach me the entire Torah while I am standing on one foot." Shammai drove him away with the builder's measuring stick that was in his hand. Shammai's anger does not seem so inappropriate - Torah, he tells his questioner, is a complicated, serious matter. It has become almost an apologetic text as well, used to show that Christianity does not have a monopoly on love as a religious category. www.excelsis.cc /weblog/pavi/archives/000338.html   (877 words)

The Jewish Observer - The Chazon Ish The Chazon Ish was once asked if students who frequented inappropriate places were in the halachic category of a talmid she’eino hagun, to whom it is not permitted to teach Torah( Yoreh De’ah 246:7). The Chazon Ish responded that while it would be a great merit for the deceased to establish a free loan fund in his memory, it would be an even bigger zechus to learn with a weaker student, build him up and put him on his feet, and help make him into a ben Torah. The Chazon Ish had a powerful love for every Jewish child and his actions and activities were an outgrowth of that love. www.shemayisrael.co.il /jewishobserver/archives/fringe/chazonish.htm   (877 words)

Pauline Soteriology Paul’s interest was principally in defending the right of gentiles to be equal partakers of salvation with Jews (Paul and the Torah [Vancouver: UBC Press, 1987]). It is clear that Paul does not accept the notion prevalent among Jews of his own day that repentance was possible for the Jew who transgressed a commandment for which the Torah allows no possibility of atonement. Paul no doubt would include his Judaizing opponents in the category of those who are “of the works of the Law.” In Gal 5:7, he asks the Galatian believers rhetorically, “You were running well. www.abu.nb.ca /courses/pauline/Soter2.htm   (8684 words)

Niddah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Torah describes niddah, the ritual impurity due to menstruation, and the prohibition of having relations with a niddah (Leviticus: 15:19-30, 18:19, 20:18). Niddah is the main category of a group of laws and customs that is generally called by the euphemism family purity (taharat hamishpacha). Niddah, as defined in the Torah, lasts for seven days. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Niddah   (2427 words)

On the Essence of Ritual Impurity Chabad.org > Parsha > The laws of Tumah, Niddah, and Mikvah belong to the category of commandments in the Torah known as chukkim -- Divine "decrees", for which no reason is given. The Torah says that when a woman gives birth, she is in a state of niddah for a variable amount of time: If the child is male, she will be tameh for seven days and if female, fourteen days. The same is true of a woman's monthly cycle: every month, this great potential for holiness, for a woman to engage in the sublime power of creation, reaches a peak in her body (an "ascent"). www.chabad.org /parshah/article.asp?AID=1542   (3208 words)

Religion Jews believe that their deity is the one and only God, who revealed his Torah (teachings) to Moses and other sages of Israel. Shamanistic religions are a broad category of religions based around worship of ancestors or spirits rather than "Gods." Shamanistic religions typically are limited to small geographical areas and rarely achieve national or international organization. An increasing acceptance of a secular worldview, combined with efforts to prevent "religious" beliefs from influencing society and government policy, may have led to a corresponding decline in religious belief, especially of more traditional forms. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/r/re/religion.html   (126 words)

Chayey_Sarah_5759.html Dwelling in Eretz Yisrael in a state of joy is one of the 613 mitzvos (commandments) of the Torah. Now we can better appreciate the concept of Eretz Yisrael's "promotion" from the category of "dust" to that of "holiness." The Rebbe describes how the term "dust" indicates sadness, heaviness, and lack of vitality. "Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) makes a person wise." The essential holiness of Eretz Yisrael is the holiness of da'at: awareness of HaShem (literally "the Name", referring to the One True G-d). www.breslov.com /Ashreynu/Chayey_Sarah_5759.html   (834 words)

Be-Midbar These former slaves -- miraculously rescued from the death and despair of Egypt, presented with the Torah amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder -- are now ready to march triumphantly on to their land, trumpets blaring, ready to scatter their enemies with the help of Hashem’s sure hand. On the other hand, the other names here all seem to fit into a category: numbers, or “pekkudim,” which means “counting.” These names tell us there will be counting and listing in this book, and indeed, there is plenty of that. 5) Counting of bekhorim: One of the major events of the Humash Ha-Pekkudim is that the bekhorim (first-born), who are considered holy, are replaced by the members of Shevet Levi. www.yu.edu /faculty/emayer/parsha_shiurim/33bemidbar.html   (834 words)
