Im very satisfied with your answers, last question, Rabbi Adam Polinovskiy, a student of Rabbi Gottlieb (who is supposedly a successor of Rabash, at least, thats the claim.) he has engaged in conversation with me, after i posted an article where Rav Laitman says there is no obligation to keep traditions. His claim is that if the Baal HaSulam or Rabash heard he said that, they would have cut ties with Laitman, and that statement is utter falsehood.
Its easy for me to find quotes from the Baal HaSulam that say along the lines that “physical mizvots mean nothing without intention” but is there anywhere that he says specifically that one is not obligated to keep traditions”?i personally desire to know, not just to have an answer, but it’s important for me. Thank achi
Well said Chris. What i meant by “throw it all away” is my tzit tzitz, tallit, keepah etc. And dare even eat un kosher food!?
I understand that kabbalah was before the religion of judaism.
But How can kabbalah be separate from judaism ? Can one exist without the other? My orthodox friends challenge me this, saying you cannot have kabbalah without judaism, Ive been practicing rabbinical judaism the past 8 years, and after joining KabU, i see there is a deeper meaning with the mizvots. But kabU’s main audience is non jews, how do i fit in if im wearing keepah and tzit tzits tallit etc in my ten? I feel like they might think “i think im better than them”. Or im stuck in religious mind, Am i to throw it all away?
I understand now that nothing physical gives me spirituality but am i to throw it all away after 8 years? The baal Hasulam never did…this is what im confused about. If kabbalah is seperate from judaism that means you can have one without the other? Why physical myzvot than?
Halacha has a Kabbalistic meaning behind them because the sages who wrote them were kabbalists. How about Noahide laws? Any place for those in kabbalah?
There is no coercion in spirituality, but where do we draw the line? For example, what if my daughter is picking up books from school, that have kids cartoons about different religions, or, idol images etc. Is stopping her from learning about that stuff still coercion ? By saying we don’t do that etc. Or guiding her towards our beliefs ie: Kabbalah also coercion ? Where do we draw the line?
