Hi Gianni
In Rabash’s writings he talks about studying/learning Torah and refers to the Torah often. From what I’ve come to understand the Torah isn’t a book of pure ritualism or history but is a blue print. But I could be wrong.
So in relation to the Torah as in the 5 books of Moses, are we supposed to read it often ? And if so why. I’d be curious to know also, The Torah today has and is being used for pure religious and doctrinal Observances, none of which is the focus of Kabbalah but how did it get taken out of context as it is today.
Hi Gianni, thankyou for responding. I just need extra clarification. I would suppose ideally we all want to get to that level of craving but if that does occur it would ultimately mean conversion to Judaism by default in order to perform those corporeal actions. (Mitzvot).
????
I have been reading a sages fruit and under the portion “The necessity to keep the 613 commandments” In it Baal HaSulam says ‘The complete crave them in their hearts and souls to keep them down to their Corporeal Branches’. So here, is he going back to bringing down the spiritual 613 names (commandants) into Corporeal rituals and actions as religious people perform ?. Even if you had that craving as the complete do, you’d need to Receive religious instruction to perform those things here.
I’ve just joined the GE but where am I supposed to start ? Do I just wait for events to be listed on the homepage?
I’m lost 😆
In the past 2 live sessions the topic of Judaism was discussed and one KabU instructor expressed that Jewish people in Israel are the ones rising to the top of the mountain uniting with the creator . But so are many non Jews that are studying kabbalah world wide so I don’t know why that wasn’t mentioned or emphasized either. I was reading Dr latimans article on the Torah and he said the Torah is written using 3 languages one of them being Jewish halakah which is Jewish law does that mean we have to follow Jewish law relating to Torah ? . I respect the Jewish people but I have no interest in religion and I have met many Jewish rabbis that say kabbalah is nonsense but it’s “Jewish nonsense”. So with this in mind why is Judaism being re-intertwined when Rav Latiman has said explicitly that kabbalah pre-dates religion. In the Larry king interview he says that, no kabbalah is not Judaism.
It’s been exhausting trying to understand this I thought the word “Jew” referred to anyone who is working with the point in the heart and not a person performing rituals. And are Jewish people really the “Chosen” people that are above the rest of humanity. If someone studies kabbalah would it not make more sense that, that person is also “chosen” in the sense they are doing the work in kabbalah. When Judaism gets put into the classes I just get confused again. But I can’t find this anywhere in Rav latimans books or Rav Ashlags. On the contrary when I read Rav Ashlags writings I find this beautiful sense of urgency he has to bring kabbalah far and wide to every single individual. But am I missing something?
Btw I write this in the most non combative way possible… Sadly the internet rips out human contact and emotions so things can be easily misunderstood. It’s a genuine question and one I’m confused on a lot. We are told to remove all our previous concepts about Torah and kabbalah etc but when all this gets brought up I just get confused again and it’s like I have to go back down to 0 and start investigating all over again 😮💨
