A Taste of Torah in Honor of Shabbat by Rabbi Avi Weiss Appropriately, it was the Egyptian first born who was killed in Egypt as they were the religious visionaries and therefore most responsible for enslaving the Jews. Once they were killed, and the Jewish first born were saved, they, too, were designated to dedicate their lives to religious service. Such a reminder, it is hoped, would reverberate in a commitment by the entire family, to a life of spirituality and religious commitment. www.hir.org /torah/rabbi/bamidbar59.htm   (520 words)

A Belief-Based Jewish Leader - Religious Leadership Versus Belief Based Leadership Rather, Religious Zionism preferred to remain on the sidelines with faith and confidence that this "beginning of the redemption" would in the end, with G-d's help (and not through our own initiative or responsibility) transform into the complete redemption. Religious Zionism left the responsibility for the historic Zionist revolution squarely on the shoulders of mainstream Zionism. Religious Zionism's only desire was to instill a little Yiddishkeit, "Jewish flavor," into the secular state that had been fashioned by others. www.jewishisrael.org /jewish_state/jewish-leader/leader03.htm   (763 words)

YudelLine: Yair Sheleg on Religious Zionism at a crossroads Its "messianic" component regards Zionism as part of the process of mythic redemption, which is supposed to lead to the renewal of the Kingdom of Israel and realization of the ideal of a solitary people who "ignore the goyim." The "earthly" component of the hardali stream did not nurture plans of redemption, but it also failed to understand the significance of responsibility and the new conditions of sovereign life.

Judaism 101: Birth and the First Month of Life If the child is born without a foreskin (it happens occasionally), or if the child was previously circumcised without the appropriate religious intent or in a manner that rendered the circumcision religiously invalid, a symbolic circumcision may be performed by taking a pinprick of blood from the tip of the penis. The ritual of redemption is referred to as pidyon ha-ben, literally, Redemption of the Son. Circumcision performed by a regular physician does not qualify as a valid brit milah, regardless of whether a rabbi says a blessing over it, because the removal of the foreskin is itself a religious ritual that must be performed by someone religiously qualified. www.jewfaq.org /birth.htm   (2248 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baptists The Northern Baptists constituted, 17 May, 1907, at Washington, a representative body, called the "Northern Baptist Convention", whose object is "to give expression to the sentiment of its constituency upon matters of denominational importance and of general religious and moral interest." Governor Hughes of New York was elected president of the new organization. The earliest Baptist church in the Dominion of Canada was organized at Horton, Nova Scotia, in 1763, by the Rev. Ebenezer Moulton of New England. The first Baptist church in Boston was established in 1665, and the organization of the first one in Maine, then part of Massachusetts, was completed in 1682. www.newadvent.org /cathen/02278a.htm   (226 words)

MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: Beyond the Settler Movement Religious Zionism may have once been monolithically associated with the belief that control over land was necessary for messianic redemption, but today people calling themselves religious Zionists may sometimes offer the opposite view--and any and every view in between. Religious Zionism can be broadly defined as a form of Zionism that believes Jewish autonomy in Israel has religious, not just political, significance. According to 170 religious Zionists who signed a manifesto published in major Israeli newspapers on May 9, 2003, these questions are particularly resonant. www.myjewishlearning.com /ideas_belief/LandIsrael/modern_landisrael/ReligiousZionism/ModerateReligiousZionism.htm   (226 words)

Israel and Judaism Religious Zionism’s role was to sanctify this nationalism, imparting new energy to it by characterizing it as God’s command. Religious Zionism’s position, long at the margins of Jewish mysticism, held that Zionism, however secular, was God’s way of preparing the land for the Messiah’s arrival. Religious Zionism’s rabbis spoke of the victory as a “miracle” and said that it meant the messianic process was reaching fruition, even if the Messiah himself were absent. www.wrmea.com /archives/december02/0212071.html   (2224 words)

Baptist History - A Brief Survey Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches - What they are and What is their History Later, the Dutch issued new orders and allowed religious liberty. To call these people Baptists or Baptistic, in the sense that the believed the Bible and followed it as their sole authority for faith and practice, in the same way true Baptist churches do today, is acceptable, although it serves no purpose. These true Baptists added the adjectives Fundamental and Independent to their name in order that they not be identified with the false practices and teaching of the doctrinally unsound churches using the Baptist name. www.bible-truth.org /fundbapt.htm   (2224 words)

MyDD :: O'Connor is gone - Calling On The Religious Left The Religious Right has neglected the teachings of Jesus that "he who is without sin should cast the first stone" and in its place, the Religious Right has substituted it with a doctrine in which perceived sinners are to be persecuted. The Religious Right has paid lipservice to the moral development of children, yet their doctrines are antithetical to the interests of children. The Religious Right has neglected the teachings of Jesus in the gospel of Luke, where He instructs that we are to show compassion for the poor. liza.mydd.com /story/2005/7/2/224150/4207   (2224 words)

FORWARD : Arts & Letters Today, when the settlements that religious Zionism inspired are places where spirits are often troubled and tensions thick, it is hard to see what remedy is offered — or the blooms of any sort of redemption. Then, of course, there were the messianists who believed that religious Zionism — indeed, all Zionism — could force the hand of God to end the Jewish exile and bring the messiah speedily and in their days. Salmon reminds us that in the early days of religious Zionism, the rabbis often opposed the very idea of Zionism, fearing that this ideology was a religious heresy that sought to end the exile before its time. www.forward.com /issues/2002/02.05.24/arts2.html   (1026 words)

Question 14.6: I've heard there were/are very Orthodox Jews who were/are against the state of Israel. How could this be? Who are Some Religious Zionist Jews see the formation of the secular state as accelerating the process of redemption, with themselves playing a major role in doing G-d's will by serving the state, whose creation is often seen as miraculous. The religious counter-reply to the above is that secular Zionism is a preliminary stage of religious Zionism, and that the vows no longer apply since the gentiles violated their part (by such actions as the Roman persecutions, the Spanish Inquisition, and the Nazi Holocaust). Many Orthodox Jews support religious Zionism, and even those Orthodox Jews indifferent or opposed to Zionism (particularly secular Zionism) often send their sons and daughters to study Torah in Israel. www.faqs.org /faqs/judaism/FAQ/08-Israel/section-7.html   (811 words)

"Religious Zionism' Zionism is "wrong' from the Torah viewpoint, not because many of its adherents are lax in practice or even anti-religious, but because its fundamental principle conflicts with the Torah. The persistent attempts of "Religious Zionists" to confuse the issue reminds one of the story told about a certain Rabbi, very far removed from the affairs of this world, to whom a question –a "shaalo"– about the kashrus of a certain part of an animal just slaughtered was once put. Four major trends may perhaps be discerned within the sphere which we have called "Religious Zionism" for the sake of brevity and convenience, but which actually extends far more widely than the "religious" parties that admit their affiliation with, and membership of, the Zionist Organization. www.zionism.ws /14religious_zionism.html   (2341 words)

Redemption Song biography .ms Marley was a pioneer in spreading the reggae music of Jamaica throughout the world; however "Redemption Song" is a simple folk song. The song, unlike most of Marley's songs, took on his religious convictions head on, but also urges people to free themselves from their self-imposed mental shackles. For example, Mike Marqusee's book on Muhammad Ali was called Redemption Song, as was Bertice Berry's book about a book dealer who specialises in African American literature. redemption-song.biography.ms   (2341 words)

Understanding Other Religions We need enlightened public disclosure of the various religious beliefs concerning the nature of God, Satan, sin, salvation, redemption, heaven, hell, the purpose of life and death. It is encouraging to read in the Public Forum the intelligent discussions of religious concepts generated by LDS Apostle Boyd Packer's address on the question "Is Mormonism Christian?" Public discussion of differing religious beliefs has been historically discouraged for a variety of reasons. Public and private religious discussions need not degenerate into proselytizing debates of who's right and who's wrong but can be conducted in a knowledge-seeking atmosphere. www.humanistsofutah.org /1998/bb2apr98.html   (286 words)

Judaism Beyond these organizations, but numbered among the religious inhabitants of Israel, are certain ultraorthodox, often ultraobscurantist people such as the Natorei Karta, “guardians of the city,” who for generations have lived on charities in Jerusalem and prayed for the messianic redemption of the land. In recent years the following have been considered the crucial religious problems: (1) the number of Jewish children attending mission schools; (2) the dearth of meat in Israel; (3) observance of the Sabbath; (4) compulsory national service for women; (5) dissension over religious education in the schools. It is true that many of the immigrants of the 1950s were religious (primarily of the Sephardic communities of North Africa and Asia), but it is now estimated that about 85 percent of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel are not religiously observant. www.ldsjews.org /judaism5.html   (286 words)

"The Revealed End": Messianic Religious Zionism by Aviezer Ravitzky Zionism, "the movement for concrete redemption in our time," is thus part of a new phase of Jewish history in which the people are released from their age-old, enforced passivity and freed entirely of their fear of the three oaths. Zionism actively assaults "the wall separating us from our land" and goes on to build on the strength of a new religious imperative not heard in previous generations. Organized Zionism was certainly far from heeding the rabbinic call that its aspiration to national political revival be linked to the traditional hope for national religious repentance. www.geocities.com /alabasters_archive/revealed_end.html   (18509 words)

Chapter 3 - Until the Tridentine Reform All religious remained faithful to the Church and once peace was obtained, they devoted themselves to material and spiritual reform in keeping with the impetus of the Council of Trent and the decisions of the Order’s general chapters. With the expansion of the Order to places separated by enormous distances where convents were established, religious residing in South America soon felt the need to have some autonomy from the Province of Castile from which most of the Spanish friars came. The redemption of captives, the principal ministry of the Order of Mercy, continued to be the Mercedarians’ essential task during this period. www.orderofmercy.org /Media/Pages/HistoryContentsPages/chapt03.html   (11793 words)

Herman Dooyeweerd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In contrast to a dualistic type of religious ground motive, such as would arise from a speculative approach, Dooyeweerd suggested that the Christian's basic orientation to the world ought to be derived not from human thought itself, but from from God's revealed purposes: Creation, the Fall into Sin, and Redemption in Christ. This Christian religious ground motive is a fundamentally different posture toward things, compared to say, the "Form/Matter" scheme of the Greeks, the "Nature/Grace" synthesis of Medieval Christianity, or the "Nature/Freedom" approach of the Enlightenment, all of which are orientations divided against themselves by their reliance upon two contradictory principles. A religious ground motive is a spiritual driving force that impells each thinker to interpret reality under its influence. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Herman_Dooyeweerd   (11793 words)

Ground Motives - The Dooyeweerd Pages. He found it had to be grounded in a religious presupposition about Origin, Diversity and Coherence, a religious ground motive about what are good, evil and redemption, and in aspectual functioning that is never absolute. Not all debate Dooyeweerd said [ibid:9] "The point of departure for science is governed by a religious ground motive; science is thus never neutral with respect to religion." Dooyeweerd believed that each aspect provides the core of distinct sciences, so within a science we might expect a coherent view. Dooyeweerd's concept of ground motives was an attempt to understand the deep motivating forces that have steered or influenced Western thinking over the last 2,500 years since the days of the early Greek thinkers. www.isi.salford.ac.uk /dooy/ground.motives.html   (11793 words)

News -- The Shawshank Redemption... The triumph of hope It is the signature scene of The Shawshank Redemption, and the spirit always soars at this symbolic rebirth of an innocent man. The rain scene has given rise to religious interpretations placing Andy Dufresne as a Christ-like figure. HE Shawshank Redemption is firmly settled in the public consciousness as the most beloved Hollywood film of the nineties, and well on the road to becoming one of the most popular of all time. Darabont believes the actor's presence in The Shawshank Redemption "lent a gravitas to the film that would not have been there otherwise." Through Red's narration, it is the voice of Freeman that guides the audience through the film. odili.net /news/source/2004/nov/21/29.html   (1715 words)

Jewish and Israel News from New York - The Jewish Week Such a conclusion seems to call into question whether Israel and the Jewish people are on the road to spiritual redemption, a core belief of the religious Zionist movement. Rabbi Melchior in his presentation said the majority of religious Zionist rabbis in Israel are calling on soldiers to disobey orders to evacuate Jews from their homes, but Rabbi Riskin disagreed and said they are a minority, though often the focus of press reports. Addressing the annual convention of the Religious Zionists of America, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, spiritual leader of the West Bank community Efrat, cited political and moral grounds for strongly opposing the planned pullout of Israeli military and approximately 8,000 Jewish civilians in Gaza, and another 1,500 Jews in four northern West Bank settlements. www.thejewishweek.com /news/newscontent.php3?artid=10896   (1269 words)

FORWARD : Arts & Letters In his analysis, the first and perhaps most dominant strand is the messianist belief that perceives the imperatives of religious return to and settlement of the land as moving inexorably toward redemption. Then, of course, there were the messianists who believed that religious Zionism — indeed, all Zionism — could force the hand of God to end the Jewish exile and bring the messiah speedily and in their days. Second is the strand that sees in religious Zionism an expression of religious yearning for, but not a guarantee of, the messiah's arrival. www.forward.com /issues/2002/02.05.24/arts2.html   (1026 words)

Religious Zionism In Palestine, Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook gave Religious Zionism his personal and spiritual endorsement, regarding settlement in the Land of Israel as the beginning of Redemption. For Religious Zionism, Judaism based on the commandments is a sine qua non for Jewish national life in the homeland. Religious Zionism can be traced to the "augurers of Zion" (Mevasrei Zion, precursors of Hibbat Zion), including Rabbis Yehudah Alkalai, Zvi Kalischer, Shmuel Mohilever, and Naftali Zvi Yehudah Berlin. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/Zionism/Religious_Zionism.html   (237 words)

MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: Land of Israel: Modern Thought There are more moderate religious Zionist groups, though almost all consider the birth of the State to be a sign of a burgeoning redemption. Though most religious Zionist settlers are not affiliated with Gush Emunim, those who sympathize with this movement tend to inhabit the most remote settlements and object to relinquishing any land as part of a peace agreement. Yehudah Alkalai (1798-1878) and Zvi Hirsch Kalischer (1795-1874) encouraged immigration to the Land of Israel, suggesting that settling the Land would help bring the Messiah--a belief that foreshadowed the religious Zionist movement. www.myjewishlearning.com /ideas_belief/LandIsrael/modern_landisrael.htm   (727 words)

Japan Driven by the religious ground motive of creation, fall and redemption, Christianity should not have the ‘topos of absolute nothingness’ as the absolute other but instead the ‘topos of absolute being’. His personal religious experience was so existential that he felt the hierarchical order of monks was only a hindrance for the purpose of salvation. These various religious groups should have their own image of public happiness for co-existing with each other in their earthly lives, regardless of their faiths. www.iapche.org /japan.htm   (727 words)

From Religious Roots to Political Consequences And it is he who maintained this temporal order of reality even after the fall of humankind, to reveal it in the redemption by Jesus Christ in all its religious fullness of meaning: the focusing of all temporal reality on the loving service of the glorification of God. Even the religious center of human experience, the human ego or selfhood, is reduced to a flowing stream of historical movements of consciousness. One of Dooyeweerd's most important achievements was to expose the religious character of modern humanism as it took hold of the sciences, politics, and cultural life in the West. www.cpjustice.org /stories/storyReader%241094   (727 words)
