After The Flood

Ever wonder what happened when Noah and his family exited the Ark after the Flood?

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world".
"The only thing necessary for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing."

Wisdom From Pirke Avot

Simon the Just…used to say,
“Upon three things the world stands:
On Torah, on (Divine) Service, and on Deeds of Lovingkindness.”
Pirke Avot 1:2

Ben Zoma said,
“Who is wise? The one who learns from all people…
“Who is mighty?  The one who subdues the evil inclination…
“Who is rich? The one who rejoices in his portion….
“Who is honored? The one who honors other human beings….”
Pirke Avot 4:1

The Most Important Part of Studying Torah

The most important element in validating interpretations of the written and oral Torah is the concept of Mesorah. Mesorah is the greatest proof to the authenticity of any concept, practice, or interpretation.

Although the seven Noahide laws have their origins in Adam and Noah, God chose to transmit and preserve them via Moses and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. This placed the Seven Mitzvos within the structure and system of Torah study and learning. Therefore, the seven Noahide laws must be interpreted and understood within the context of the Torah.

This point cannot be stressed enough: Jewish, and therefore Noahide, study and interpretation of the Torah is unique and unlike the study of any other religious texts.

The Truth About the Ger

 

Don't ever be afraid of seeking truth or speaking the truth, as it says in

Proverbs 12:19...

Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment

Are Noahides Allowed to Pray?

For Noahides, prayer is considered a mitzvah when performed in response to personal needs or circumstances. If one experiences challenges for which he does not pray, his lack of response is tantamount to a denial of God as the sovereign ruler of all things and all events. When one does pray in such circumstances, it demonstrates reliance and belief in the Creator.

When a Noahide prays to give thanks or praise absent a personal need, he still receives reward for such prayer even though it is not of the same nature as prayer prompted by personal needs.

As with all personal prayers, there are no fixed texts for Noahide prayer. Since all Noahide prayer is essentially personal prayer, it is ideally expressed using sincere words from the heart.

Tools For Noahide Torah Study

The journey of Noahide Torah study is endless in depth and has no destination.  You will realize this when your very essence proclaims, "the more I learn, the less I know"!  Before you make this proclamation remember that it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them in every aspect of their life.  After you make that proclamation you will realize and appreciate why it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them. The study of Torah is what gives us our awe of the Creator.  The more we study the more awe we gain.

Water Your Soul

Water Your Soul

(As it is summer vacation season in Australia this is a ‘micro blog’ – the fourth and final in the series of Fire, Air, Earth and Water). 

The most distinctive feature of life on earth is water. Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface. 70% of your body is water coursing through it.  Agricultural pursuits, sustaining humankind, are indulged with 70% of all available water.

If seven is the natural spiritual rhythm of life and zero is the state of nothingness that preceded creation, then another 70 appears on the spiritual landscape.

Of the four basic spiritual elements, Fire, Air, Earth and Water (see blogs 201, 202, and 203) Water is the primary motivator of human endeavor. In Kabbalistic teachings Water is the source of joy and happiness. No wonder that the spiritual element of Water and its physical analogue, are so profoundly embedded in the processes of creation, procreation, sustenance and maintenance, and pleasure.

A feature of water is its tendency to seep down to the lowest possible level. Teaching is like that. A good teacher is able to allow the information to seep deep into the psyche and consciousness of the student. A successful trainer will allow the practice to become so deeply embedded that it will become ‘second nature. A truly mindfulness-oriented human being will practice awareness and consciousness profoundly at all times and in all situations.  The end result of all these is inevitably – joy, pleasure, and happiness.

The basis of Jewish life is a handbook called the Torah. In the spiritual literature Torah is described as flowing down to the deepest levels of a person’s soul. It is akin to spiritual water. Therefore a person endowed with a dominance of Water in his/her soul type, will demonstrate characteristics of insight, joy and pleasure

Water can also be misdirected by our egoself (Nefesh Behamit) and transform into a quest for temporal sensual gratification, something that comes, goes, leaving in its wake a sense of emptiness and deprivation, inciting the next addictive fix. Or, it can be channeled through our altruistic-self (Nefesh Elokit) allowing profundity and meaning to provide the highest forms of true pleasure, which are long-lasting, growing in intensity, without diminishing or emptying.

If you are a Water person, then you will display a happy disposition, making people feel very comfortable around you, and possess a genuine quest for depth. 

But beware, today’s drinking water requires filtration and purification, as industrial waste together with ‘protective’ governmentally sanctioned chemical additives create a toxic brew. The same holds true of spiritual waters. The toxicity of instant gratification becomes addiction. Our spiritual Water, too, needs to be filtered.

Water your soul with purity.
