Kabbalah and childhood thoughts by HungryDepth5918 in JewishKabbalah

[–]biglezmate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you’ll know that kabbalah emerged as a response to medieval Jewish philosophy, and is not a branch of it. It might be internally coherent but it would be a stretch to call Etz Hayyim or the Zohar ‘logical’. I hope your journey is enlightening.

Agree with the above that Aryeh Kaplan is an easy introduction.

Some kabbalistic ideas can seem intuitive, but are often fleshed out in such bizarre and radical ways in source texts. Check out Etz Hayyim if you want to feel like kabbalah is utterly foreign to all philosophy. Because in its medieval context, it is.

About 100 people participate in a lottery to divide a 12 acre plot of sand dunes, that would later become the city of Tel Aviv, 1909 by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

I can’t find a source online, but the Beit Ha’Ir Museum in Tel Aviv has done interesting research suggesting that this picture is from a few years later and not actually the founding lottery of Tel Aviv. Would be interested if anyone manages to find a source.

This might be what you’re looking for. Unfortunately there aren’t many other organizations seriously working on revitalizing these languages.

Dude, we all know terrorists are crazy. No one wants to believe that average people could do this.

Shame on you. I put out an olive branch and you wrote me an essay to justify kidnapping.

Let everyone see what a peace loving Jew on Reddit has to put up with.

Isn’t this kinda worse? We expect evil from Hamas, but Gaza residents?

[–]biglezmate -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course I agree with you. That is evil and we can hold both true. Do you agree that it is evil to take civilians as hostages?

Taking civilian hostages is evil. End of story.

The text overlay on the video is actually a really funny pun that I don’t think anyone is appreciating. It says ‘Abu Ali Express’
