10 Minute Topics: Jewish Mysticism
10 Minute Topics: Jewish Mysticism becomingj... - 5 views - 5 hours ago
The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Jewish Mysticism.

Mysticism and mystical experiences have been a part of Judaism since the earliest days. The Torah contains many stories of mystical experiences. The Talmud speaks about the existence of the soul and when it becomes attached to the body. Jewish tradition tells that the souls of all Jews were in existence at the time of the giving of the Torah. These souls were present at Mount Sinai and agreed to the Covenant.

10 Minute Topics: Women in Judaism becomingj... - 66 views - 2 weeks ago
The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Women in Judaism.

Throughout the Tanach one will find many virtuous, and some not so virtuous, women. Women, in Jewish tradition, are the first teachers of the children and as such they were given the Torah first at Sinai. Contrary to popular belief, women are equal to men. However, men and women do have different purposes in life as set up by G-d. Therefore, women and men are equal but not the same. It has become the norm for females to be afforded similar education in Torah and Talmud as is afforded males. Females generally will attend all-female yeshivot (Jewish religious schools) where they will learn secular and religious subjects. Women are also afforded a traditionally female-only holiday each month. This holiday is known as Rosh Chodesh and occurs on the first day (sometimes the first two days) of each Hebrew month according to the Jewish calendar and was originally a day of rest for women.
