  • The Participation of God and the Torah in Early Kabbalah
    religions Article The Participation of God and the Torah in Early Kabbalah Adam Afterman 1,* and Ayal Hayut‑man 2 1 Department of Jewish Philosophy and Talmud, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6997801, Israel 2 School of Jewish Studies and Archaeology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 6997801, Israel; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: All Abrahamic religions have developed hypostatic and semi‑divine perceptions of scrip‑ ture. This article presents an integrated picture of a rich tradition developed in early kabbalah (twelfth–thirteenth century) that viewed the Torah as participating and identifying with the God‑ head. Such presentation could serve scholars of religion as a valuable tool for future comparisons between the various perceptions of scripture and divine revelation. The participation of God and Torah can be divided into several axes: the identification of Torah with the Sefirot, the divine grada‑ tions or emanations according to kabbalah; Torah as the name of God; Torah as the icon and body of God; and the commandments as the substance of the Godhead. The article concludes by examining the mystical implications of this participation, particularly the notion of interpretation as eros in its broad sense, both as the “penetration” of a female Torah and as taking part in the creation of the world and of God, and the notion of unification with Torah and, through it, with the Godhead. Keywords: Kabbalah; Godhead; Torah; scripture; Jewish mysticism; participation in the Godhead 1. Introduction Citation: Afterman, Adam, and Ayal The centrality of the Word of God, as consolidated in scripture, is a central theme in Hayut‑man.

  • A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A
    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, the author of the "Zohar" lived, studied and worked in the the 2nd Century, C.E., studying the deepest Kabbalistic secrets with his disciples in a cave near Tzfat called "Me'arat Ha'idra". It was there that they experienced the lofty spiritual and Heavenly revelations described in the Zohar. The entire Tzfat area is dotted with many graves of ancient Jewish sages and mystics, dating from the First Temple Era through the Middle Ages. These holy sites bear witness to the work and activities of Prophets and early Talmudic sages, who were also well-known mystics in their own right. They were attracted by the region's special energy and atmosphere, and saw it as the ideal location for connecting with the inspiration and insights of Kabbalah.

  • Yitro 5779 Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Congregation Shaare Tefilla This
    Yitro 5779 Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky Congregation Shaare Tefilla This week, Jessica had Monday off and she brought Shevy to my office for a visit. Just before they left, I was seized by a brilliant idea for a posed photo. I went to my bookshelf and took out my copy of the classic Chassidic work Kedushas Levi, the Torah commentary of Rav Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev. I ​ put it in Shevy’s tiny hands while she lay in the stroller; she seemed excited to be holding it, and I took a picture, which I labelled “Drove the Shevy to the Levi…” Yes, I hear many of you of a certain age groaning; I know that this is a uniquely Jewish and highly specific version of a literal Dad joke. Please understand, though, that in an effort not to cause Eli Lebowicz, our visiting comedian, any performance anxiety this evening, I’m not using my really good material... After this photographic triumph, I began to ​ experience a guilty conscience. How could I use a sefer for a sight gag? So I ​ ​ opened the Kedushas Levi to this week’s Parsha. Providentially, Rav Levi Yitzchak develops an idea in an essay that articulates an issue I’ve been thinking about for quite some time. This week, we read the Torah’s account of God’s revelation at Mt. Sinai, an account that is repeated later on in the book of Devarim. There are a number of differences between these two accounts, but perhaps the best 1 © 2019 Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky known is found in the Torah’s commandment to observe Shabbos.

  • Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur
    BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Holy to ADONAI MESSIANIC YISR A'EL SIDDUR DAILY & SHABBAT SIDDUR PRAYER BOOK BEIT IMMANUEL Global Outreach Synagogue by YHVH PUBLISHING HOUSE Messianic Yisra'el Daily & Shabbat Siddur THE GIFT AND BEAUTY OF SHABBAT When ADONAI rested from His work of creation, He gave us the 7th Day - the Shabbat (or Shabbat). ADONAI sanctified this day and taught us to do likewise. So the Shabbat is given as a sign between ADONAI and His people, and as a commemoration of our Creator, and the very act of creation. In its simplest definition, "Shabbat" means "Rest," and so each Shabbat is a day of rest ... rest in the sense of ceasing from all the normal work & activities of the other six days of the week. It is to be a time of joy, peace and tranquility, away from the cares and worries of the world. ADONAI Elohim calls each Shabbat day "a holy convocation". "Convocation" means a "gathering together"; it is a group of believers assembling or gathering for worship, praise, and celebration. Shabbat is a day of rejoicing and joining with one another in the Presence of ADONAI! The Shabbat is a picture of the Olam Ha'Ba, or the world to come. In the rhythm of the Olam Ha'Zeh, or the present world that we live in now, however, the Shabbat is a sacred time to become spiritually reconnected with our true identities, as ADONAI Elohim's own children. "I have a precious gift in my treasure house, said ADONAI Elohim to Moses,'Shabbat' is its name; go and tell Yisra'el I wish to present it to them."
