I understand that Israel is not a nationality and jew means yehudi, unity with the Creator, can you elaborate on “why a non Jew would have israel in them”?
Can you explain the meaning of going from “Abram to Ivri to AbraHam- yehudi – Israel”? And how does this connect to him being circumcised at the age of 99? And What’s the difference from when he first crossed over to spirituality and finally being circumcised at 99? It seems that spiritual brit mila comes in stages?
Hello
So im hosting a zoom this week, continuing with the Topic of Lishma, following the morning lesson on “from the Love of the Creator to the Love of Man” it say’s “why would the Creator care if one slaughters from the back of the neck or the front, the mizvot is only to cleanse mans heart”. It doesn’t positively say that he does not care, rather, it was a question? I know that kosher animals have arteries in the front of the neck, while a horse for example has a second artery in the back and one in the front, showing that if it was slaughtered from the back, it would still suffer longer. And a lamb or cow cut at back would suffer, So i feel that he does care, And in the blog post by Rav titles “Signs of Kosher animals” he says, that the animals must be slaughtered correctly so it does not suffer. I have my own version, why would the Creator care if one circumcise (slaughters) on the 8th day ? It was discovered that on the 8th day a male baby has and extra 10% blood only on the 8th day and goes back to normal after. Can you tell me what does the Baal HaSulams question mean? Since these actions have a meaning and benefit in the physical world? How does this relate to our latest themes of lishma and love of friends?
