You know the ones? That you use with plastic sandwich bags? <br /><br />If Veronica (Christian saint, incidentally...Good name for a nice (?) Jewish girl) would throw away a Jewish soul because of her own baseless phobia of G-d knows what (Maybe she can find out the next time He talks to her.), maybe she can explore that, and see if next Rosh HaShana G-d will forgive her without her having asked your forgiveness for having claimed to know who/what G-d wants.<br /><br />Thanks again for continuing to put your voice out there.Dana Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815753978538044084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156906316963131564.post-85428359978792039882011-11-02T18:52:50.036-04:002011-11-02T18:52:50.036-04:00I understood Veronica to mean something along the ...I understood Veronica to mean something along the lines of, "The 'God Establishment' doesn't want gay people, so why do you cling to it instead of finding your own path among people who accept you? Why do you stay frum?" Taken this way, it wasn't a negative comment against you but a probe that goes to the heart of the conflict between your faith and your desire.Teddy Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427150167738508315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156906316963131564.post-19613022622688747722011-10-31T12:11:10.287-04:002011-10-31T12:11:10.287-04:00It is my understanding that Judaism teaches that G...It is my understanding that Judaism teaches that G@d loves every living creation that he made. <br /><br />The Rebbe Rayatz, the 5th Lubaviter Rebbe tells the following story...<br /><br />"While walking with ny father...I absentmindedly tore a leaf off a passing tree. Holding it a while in my hands, I continued my thoughtful pacing, occasionally tearing small pieces of leaf and casting them to the winds."<br /><br />"The Holy Ari," said father to me, "says that not only is every leaf on a tree a creation invested with Divine life, created for a specific purpose within G-d's intent in creation, but also that within each and every leaf there is a spark of a soul that has descended to earth to find its correction and fulfillment."...<br /><br />...."How can one be so callous towards a creation of G-d? This leaf was created by the Almighty towards a specific purpose and is imbued with a Divine life-force. It has a body and it has its life. In what way is the 'I' of this leaf inferior to yours?"<br /><br />In addition, the MAIN principal of Judaism is "Ahavas Yisroel", "Love your Neighbor as Yourself",<br /><br />We DO know what HaShem wants from us, it's all written down in a great document called The Torah. "Chai BaHem" - Live by these words. HaShem loves us despite our shortcomings. Anyone that denies this, does not understand the foundation of Judasim at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
