Marriage & Kabbalah

about the mitzva of marriage, The minimum age for marriage under Jewish law is 13 for boys, 12 for girls; however, the kiddushin can take place before that, and often did in medieval times. The Talmud recommends that a man marry at age 18, or somewhere between 16 and 24. .

M. L.: Knowing people and the animal world to which we are similar in this respect, we see that the institution of marriage was not artificially created by man, but appeared based on our natural qualities at the lowest, animate, hormonal level. We observe the likeness of marriage in the animal world, when coupling occurs for reproduction.
Kabbalah reveals the reasons for this why the elements that interact based on the principle of attraction of opposites (plus and minus, electron and positron) were created exactly this way? Why do molecules and atoms merge, and why two separate opposites have to merge in order to create, give birth to something new?
At the primitive level there are forms when they are not separated and male and female parts exist in one body, merged and participate in the continuation of life together. Yet already at the animate level male and female parts confront a problem of a union for the creation of a new life. The level of superior animals and man is based on interaction.
Why is this arranged so in nature? Because nature strives to elevate man to such level of development, when he would consciously participate in this process, realize, appreciate, and attain its cosmic, universal scale, and approve of it. At the same time man rises to nature's highest level, which constitutes the purpose of existence of the universe, including our world.
Maturity takes one third of man's life. Therefore marriage - unification between male and female parts that created it should be long and perfect in order to pass all the essential information accumulated by parents to a child.
Man should be brought up, fulfilled. He is born absolutely empty and insignificant, unlike an animal that adapts itself to the environment during the first days of its life. A human child should be constantly guarded, educated, nursed, cherished, and filled with enormous volume of information, so that it would become fit to exist in this world. This is why the institution of marriage exists; a need for it is incorporated in our nature. Nature evokes in us love for children; otherwise we wouldn't have formed couples and given them a chance to exist.

This is really great. Listening has really helped me understand what marriages truely stay strong. I know that I want a man that I can connect with on a spritual level because I am. I am not worried right now about meeting that person. I am content with myself for now because I still have a lot to learn in the Torah. I want to be able to explain concerns like this as well as you do. Thanks :)

@MrsBuckner1 : OHH you are so sweet I am not very good explaining, however i try, you tube is a plataform where i can practice, bcuz one day my lil children will learn from me. Torah is a process, you'll see that having a husband helps allot in to it, a men , represents in the Minan, also when we women are in the Nida, a men reads the Torah to us since we cannot touch Holy matters. I truly encourage marriage to everyone, I love weddings, :) Shabbath Shalom -Dolly (Pacif.Time)

I have heard of this theory before: that Adam was in fact an androgynous being, who was separated into two beings later, once God realized it was not good for him to be alone.

But Kabbalah *also* tells a story (in the Book of Zohar) about Adam's first wife, Lilith...

I have no doubt the Lilith story is probably told as Midrash, and just a fairy tale, meant to teach a spiritual lesson. Nevertheless, some take Lilith as fact.

I'm more inclined to accept the 1st theory... lol

It's science!

Very good Observations!! I am impressed by your atention to detail, G-d realized it was not good for him to be alone before he even created Adam, that;s why Women was incluided in Hem, But G-D waited until Adam discovered this , in order for men to apreciate women as an ideal help .

May G-D Bless, stay tuned for Sunday's afternoon new video about women topics

[KabbalahSherry]

Thank you so much! I will be more than happy to check out your new video! I really appreciate seeing a Godly woman on here, talking about REAL issues, that effect REAL women/men. People need to understand- simply just being religious won't bring us any closer to Godliness. Yes... religion is important. But it's the spiritual that is broken within people, and THAT must be addressed!

Thank you for your web page! It is very interesting!

May God bless you in your endeavors!

By the way, I luv your video on the afterlife as well. I too believe in Olam HaBa, or The World to Come.

Even though I am a Christian, I believe that both the Old AND New Testament scriptures back up the Jew's descriptions of the afterlife, and what happens to certain souls there.

That place where you were talking about towards the end of your afterlife video; GehennaH? (sp?) It's mentioned in Holy Scriptures!

I wish that more Christians would open their minds to Kabbalah- Jesus knew it!
