[@MrJohnDocHolliday]

In Kabbalah, the Sephirot are the ten emanations or aspects of the divine that serve as a framework for understanding the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the spiritual realms. Each Sephirah represents a particular attribute or quality of the divine, and together they form a dynamic system of spiritual and cosmological principles. When considering the story of Adam and Eve from a Kabbalistic perspective, the Sephirot can offer insights into the spiritual dynamics at play: Adam: In Kabbalah, Adam represents the archetypal human being and is often associated with the Sephirah of Tiferet. Tiferet, located in the center of the Sephirotic tree, represents harmony, beauty, and balance. Adam's role is to harmonize and integrate the qualities of the other Sephirot within himself, reflecting the divine image. Eve: Eve is traditionally associated with the Sephirah of Malkhut, which represents the realm of the physical and material world. Malkhut is also associated with receptivity and the capacity to manifest divine energies. Eve's connection to Malkhut suggests her embodiment of the earthly aspects of creation and her role in bringing forth physical life. Interaction of Sephirot: The story of Adam and Eve can be understood as a reflection of the interaction and dynamics between the Sephirot. For example, the temptation and fall of Eve can be seen as an imbalance or distortion in the Sephirotic flow. This imbalance is rectified through the process of tikkun, the restoration of harmony and divine order within the Sephirotic structure. It's important to note that Kabbalistic interpretations of biblical stories, including Adam and Eve, can vary among different Kabbalistic schools and scholars. The above explanations provide a general framework, but specific interpretations and elaborations may differ. Kabbalistic teachings delve deep into the nature of existence and the divine, providing intricate metaphysical and spiritual insights. Exploring the Sephirot and their connections to biblical narratives can be a rich and profound journey within the framework of Kabbalah.

Forever and ever and ever! Wow! Agape brother!

[@Heartwarrior70]

I started to wake up to HASHEMS call home in 2009, due to my Christian upbringing and anti semitism by my father I resisted, I was afraid of going to hell for denying JC, I attended a messianic congregation and tho thngs of Jewish tradition seemed foreign at first, I realized it was also really familiar and I knew I was home, (Almost) as I've continued to educate myself through videos and teachers like you, I have come to see more truth, I have dug deep inside myself and started doing Mitzvahs on my own to the best of my ability, I have been observing shabbat and holy days and experiencing in Judaism what Christianity promised. I have repented for IDOLITRY, and am at a place where I want to connect with a Jewish community and begin conversion on the physical sense. I want a Halachic conversion. Because I'm still learning I need others who are more experienced Jew to lead me in the right direction, I am taking steps to kosher my home, I already eat kosher, I am doing morning and bedtime prayers and adding after noon and evening pray as I go, as things stand out to me I do my best to incorporate it. If you can help me find a community where I live that I can connect with to begin the process I would be grateful. I make sense to me now, I have started loving myself for the first time in my life, I have hope, I recently lost a child and YOU Rabbi helped me with accepting this and made grieving peaceful, I say mourners prayer when the grief come, we are approaching a year with his transition, I have been alone in it and your teachings have been a life raft for me. I want to come home, I belong, I taught my kids we are here to become love and to spread that to the world, my son WAS/IS that.

Also of benefit, consider rereading THE GUIDE FOR THE PERPLEXED by Moses Maimonides

[@nabilaaaaaaaaaa]

If the jewish soul was impregnated and permeated in Avraham and even transferred before Matan Torah through the father, why is it that we needed to convert? And, what was the role of Sara Immenu in the transfering of the soul? Doesn't it look like Yitschak's soul was received through Sara? Because Avraham also had a kid with Ktoret and he didn't have this soul... A last question: Why the G'dly soul didn't permeate in Essav? Was this impregnation dependent on actions? Was it dependent on merit?

That the last comment on here was 3 years ago tells you why people think God has abandoned them...no you turn away because He isn’t being what you want Him to be...He hasn’t changed, YOU changed!

[@antireptile]

As a jew I could honestly tell you that the Jewish faith is a little nuts and has become nuttier over time. The foundation of the faith was Abraham who loved our Creator and loved humanity, and sought to bring people closer to God. Ultimately the job of the "chosen people" is to let others know that they too are also chosen. As the great Hillel the elder preached "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the entire Torah, and the rest is its commentary". Hillel used to also say: “Do not judge your friend until you have stood in his place."

Out of my own experience I know that there are times when I have to protect myself from being vulnerable. I achieve this by making myself indifferent on the outside. I don't do this to hurt anybody, it is protection from my own pain. Could it be that G-d experiences times where he is hurt so much that he has to protect himself and it looks for us humans as if he stopped caring?

DEAR RABBI FRIEDMAN: Excuse me but as a very young child i was taught Magik by demons, at 17 i dedicated myself to Witchkrafte - not the ordinary witchcraft GOD recently set me free from the occult and blackmagic, etc., etc., ... GOD has known everyones name and being, since before creation ( am i right?) I now serve GOD, and am fully HIS, and only HIS. I serve HIM with all my heart and soul, my every word, and my every action. I came from Adam and Eve as much as a person of JEWISH lineage, or JEWISH religion. Yet: i unconditionally greatly sinned and eventully turned to GOD. Now i LOVE GOD - THE GREAT ALMIGHTY CREATOR. Please don't be offended but: everyone has a "JEWISH SOUL"; GOD breathed life ( a part of HIMSELF) into mankind. How one respects and acknowledges their soul is their choice, many people these days are ignorant of the soul, and the will of the LORD. People who are jewish are not the only ones that are HOLY and going to heaven. I know by scriptures that GOD has an affinity for Jews of some sort, but many others will be there. It is my choice and freewill to accept the LORD as my savior, yet by the spirit of the HOLY SPIRIT i am compelled to love GOD, and do all i can to serve HIM. HE IS MY GOD TOO. As a Witch; candles and incense were/are an integeral part to magik, spells, worship, celebration, etc., TRUE service to The LORD is in the heart and soul, not in material things of any sort. If one prays to GOD to lead the way in their life, GOD will! Yes: it will hurt at first, GODS ways are far above ours, so at first we're not going to understand, but all comes to light to us in the end. I totally love your teachings and am enlightened by them. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY HE SHINE HIS SMILE UPON YOU - ALWAYS!!!😇

[@SaintTrinianz]

First, I love listening to you, but sometimes I have questions, even objections, so with all due respect, if you don't mind... You don't have to be a Jew or even a Christian to know that cold is not a thing. It's the absence of a thing, right? That's science. Heat is energy. Cold is no energy. And again, darkness is not a thing. It's the absence of a thing; light! HaShem pronounced it and it was so... Extrapolating that out to the emotional and spiritual valences of life it's easy enough to see that sin in not a thing. It's an absence of a thing! What thing? Love. Not love according to the world, but love according to HaShem. So how can evil be a thing? It can only be an absence of a thing... No? Please, correct me if I am wrong. And hell, if there is a hell, would that not also be an absence of... HaShem? ...of light and life and love and all the good and wonderful things that abound in his presence? Who truly can fathom such a realm, an expanse from which HaShem eternally vacates and leaves to those who willfully choose not to love. Such a terror! But will HaShem force himself, his love on anyone? No, that's not love. HaShem would not force himself on his creation, especially not on his friends. We can only truly love if we have a choice, right? Anything less is obligation and ritual. So what becomes of those who reject HaShem, his goodness and mercy? Do you know? They just die? Poof... greasy spot!

[@pattyajones]

All you have to do is "serve God". Love your neighbor in spite of what you perceive to be their weaknesses. Put yourself in their position. You don't have to agree, you don't have to condone....you just have to try to understand.

[@richardstein5702]

SaintTrinianz - the experience of loving HaShem must come thru whatever it is about us that can love / see / believe in a deeply functional but logically contradictory way. This quality can get called “a light to the world” and takes the ability to validate an inner place that cannot be validated with objectivity. Accepting this “inner spark” is something like saying yes to a sort of mania, celebrating that we see Divinity in every sort of experience that takes us out from Mitzrayim. The resultant feeling, of being needed, loved and fulfilled by God, is actually our only maintainable salvation, no matter how vague or clear that concept manifests. There is no other active manifestation of spark than that “light.”
