exceptional #sefaria source sheet on #trans people in the #torah https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/125838?lang=bi

Shabbat Shalom! This week's #Parsha is a double portion, one of which is Vayalech.

The question we wrestle with is literalism - are the words TRUTH or just Truth? (I believe the latter.)

This journal will have blank pages for taking notes, sketches, or just musing about what the Torah or Haftarah readings for each Parashat and Yom Tovim mean to you personally.

The Law and the Prophets

Messianic Jews and Christians who understand the Hebrew roots of our faith do not see the NT as the book of another religion but the necessary fulfilment of the OT with the revelation of the promised Messiah fulfilled in Jesus, rooted in the Hebrew scriptures.
The New is in the Old concealed, the Old is in the New revealed.

And now that essay I promised on #Neurodivergent #torah for the HHD is due in a little over a week so I should probably get it from the “percolating in my brain” stage into the “words on a page” stage.

Topic: Holy, Upturned Vessels and Not Feeling Broken.

דברים כב:ז
שלח תשלח את־האם

The only Mitzvot rewarded with long life are honoring parents and sending away a mother bird. Chullin(142a) tells of a boy sent by his father to get eggs. He obeys and also sends away the mother. After, he falls to his death. The gemara asks, where is his long life? And perhaps he was thinking of sin. No! The gemara states that הקב"ה does not consider thoughts to be in the realm of action. How do you impact the world with your thoughts?

דברים יז:ט
אל־השפט אשר יהיה בימים
Sifrei (153) ask, why does this seem superfluous? Rashi says that even if a judge may not appear equal to one in Those days, we must listen, because he is the judge in Our days. In the Gemara (R.H. 25b), we learn that each generation builds on the last despite our perceptions (c.f. Avos 1:1 and also Koheles 7:10).
In Elul, our time of reflection, consider what we learn from our past. How do you see yourself in the present?

5 things happened on Tisha B'Av:

-We were kicked out of Spain in 1492, triggering our current dispersion.

-The city of Betar was destroyed. It is said that, for 7 years, the Romans were able to fertilize their fields with the Jews of Betar.

-The first Beis Hamikdash was destroyed.

-The second Beis Hamikdash was destroyed.

-We wept at the report of the meraglim. הקב"ה told us that, today you weep for nothing but someday you will weep for everything.

דברים ד:טו
כי לא ראיתם כל־תמונה וגו
Moshe Rabbeinu hear exhorts us again against avodah zarah. The last time he left us, in our fear, we made the egel zahav (beginning the three weeks). Now that we set off on our own for good. How great the concern has the concern become?
Even in galus though, we can find home (c.f. ד:כט):
ומצאת כי תדרשנו בכל־לבבך ובכל־נפשך וגו
Where do we go from here?

Parashah Devarim begins by recounting our failures but concludes with our successes. In the Haftara we read לא תוסיפו הביא מנחת־שוא. But even this ends with hints of progress. As mentioned earlier in Devarim too, לא־שמע הי בקלכם . Both our avoda and our voice have become empty. Tonight is Shabbos Chazon (vision), a day to reflect on our pasts and future. What do we hope to see? Where do we go from here?

I'm sure other people follow this group and we would love to hear your insights and learning😋.

I set this up yesterday (not sure if it works right😶 yet). I haven't set follow requests yet but please follow for now.

@TorahStudy

@bborn @chanele @emilyk @sheepchase @imstilljeremy @hauntedhideaway @baruch I imagine an @ group isn't too difficult to set up, but these things don't need to be mutually exclusive. I think the generic #Torah might be better than #DailyTorah since it is more self-evident and I don't think the hashtag is already in such heavy use. But again, there's no problem using both hashtags.

Det måste vara tillåtet att bränna religiösa skrifter
Koranbränningar har varit mycket uppmärksammat i år och under förra året. Detta då en högerextremist använt koranbränningar för att hetsa mot muslimer. Ofta har de skett utanför moskéer. Han syfte har varit att hetsa mot muslimer och väcka uppståndelse. Den typen a

We have been working our way erratically through the #MagnumPI back catalogue.

During the week we discovered the #Torah! Torah! Torah! episode

Not only was it a nice and respectful portrayal of Judaism - and Buddhism too - but realising that the actor (Nehemiah Persoff) playing the rabbi was in his 70s at the time is amazing to consider :skellysplode:

Of course, the plot is the usual Magnum incoherent bonkers-ness. Although it shines a light on little known aspects of modern history.

Overall, it's an enjoyable watch. 📺
