Emerging Jewish
Author: Rabbi Daniel Kohn
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469100894
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Converting to Judaism can be an arduous process. After all, the Jewish tradition is over three thousand years old, filled with a rich history of significant events, great literature, sophisticated theology, a full calendar of holidays, and chock-full of home rituals, spiritual practices, customs and commandments. It is a comprehensive way of life and this wealth of knowledge can be an exhausting obstacle to a potential convert. It is no wonder that many formal courses for conversion to Judaism can take over a year--there is a lot to learn! But perhaps even more difficult than the formal educational process, for some people, the informal, social aspect of converting to Judaism can be especially challenging. Becoming a Jew is more than simply adopting a new faith and set of spiritual practices; it also involves joining a whole new people and ethnic group. For some converts, marrying into a Jewish family means trying to win the acceptance of Jewish in-laws who may be less-than-enlightened about the conversion process. For others, it may mean working to acquire the approval of Jewish friends and acquaintances in a community or synagogue. There is also the challenge of dealing with the complex and varied reactions of non-Jewish family members and friends. Unfortunately, not all Jews-by-Choice are immediately supported by their families-of-origin or welcomed into the Jewish people with open arms. For many new Jews, developing and independent sense of their own Jewish identity, a feeling of belonging, authenticity, and ease in the Jewish religion and amongst the Jewish people can be a long-term struggle. This book contains information that many rabbis and teachers probably feel uncomfortable divulging to students studying for conversion. This book is about the unpleasant, painful and even unfair side of the experience of Jewish conversion. In fact, I had originally titled it, What the Rabbis Wont Tell You About Becoming a Jew, because no rabbi wants to reveal the pitfalls and challenges that potential converts to Judaism might face. Based on personal experiences, anecdotal evidence from former converts, as well as direct observation, this book presents strategies for coping with unsupportive non-Jewish family members and friends, the inherently discriminatory nature of the process of conversion to Judaism, the prejudicial anti-convert views that some Jews-by-Choice may confront when interacting with a small number of bigoted, ignorant members of the Jewish community, and coming to grips with the fact that no matter what denomination of the rabbi who officiates at the conversion, there will always be someone who will claim the process was not Jewish "enough" and therefore invalid. These are the kinds of topics no rabbi or teacher wants to bring up when discussing the joys and spiritual highlights of conversion to Judaism. However, I feel that it is a disservice to Jews-by-Choice not to be inoculated against these potentially explosive issues. And let's not forget the reaction of non-Jewish friends and family who also may be less-than-pleased by the spiritual choice of a loved one who suddenly announces their interest in converting to Judaism. It is not at all uncommon for non-Jewish family members to experience a sense of guilt over what they might have done "wrong" which lead their son/daughter/brother/sister to abandon their faith-of-origin. Some families and friends may even experience the conversion of a child or friend as an act of abandonment. And some devoutly Christian friends and family members may sincerely worry about the ultimate and eternal disposition of the soul of a convert to Judaism whom they believe may now be condemned to eternal damnation. Especially given the unique and complicated relationship of Christianity to Judaism, converting to Judaism for many former and even unaffiliated Christians can present numerous challenges to their families and frie

Boring Formless Nonsense
Author: Eldritch Priest
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 144112408X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Boring Formless Nonsense intervenes in an aesthetics of failure that has largely been delimited by the visual arts and its avant-garde legacies. It focuses on contemporary experimental composition in which failure rubs elbows with the categories of chance, noise, and obscurity. In these works we hear failure anew. We hear boredom, formlessness, and nonsense in a way that gives new purchase to aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical questions that falter in their negative capability. Reshaping current debates on failure as an aesthetic category, eldritch Priest shows failure to be a duplicitous concept that traffics in paradox and sustains the conditions for magical thinking and hyperstition. Framing recent experimental composition as a deviant kind of sound art, Priest explores how the affective and formal elements of post-Cagean music couples with contemporary culture's themes of depression, distraction, and disinformation to create an esoteric reality composed of counterfactuals and pseudonymous beings. Ambitious in content and experimental in its approach, Boring Formless Nonsense will challenge and fracture your views on failure, creativity, and experimental music.

Beyond Man-Made Religion

Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
We live in troubled times, a dangerous and destabilized world that has coarsened our sensibilities and constrained our capacities for goodness. The world presents a baffling problem. It questions the history of people, places, and cultures with the idea of creating wedges between faiths. All the world’s religions teach love, compassion, and forgiveness, yet, unprovoked and unimaginable violence is being perpetrated in the name of the faith by self-proclaimed rabbis who may be, in several cases, the master disruptors of civilization. Despite being detractors, their sacred ideals and robes adorn their religious proclamations and remain firmly embedded in our universal holy consciousness. Those who do not subscribe to organized religion also now see scriptures as a candlelight in their personal and professional lives. The philosophical outlook underpins our everyday attitudes. The only lasting solution will be to liberate society from man-made religion and return to the pristine message of the scriptures. These scriptures had a simple, straightforward, and plain-speaking message for all humanity, which got distorted at the hands of the modern tools of intellectual sophistry and sterile polemics. We need to sanitize not just our bodies and our environment but also our minds and intellect. The religious idea that there is a universal moral law which is the central axis of all strands of religious and spiritual thought and is an essence of all philosophical thought This book explores the diverse contours of philosophical thought and shapes them into a coherent trajectory.

Pages : 349
Book Description
This book attempts in making in-roads, in to Spirituality, for the usage of a common man, in personal and professional lives. Initially, the book introduces 'Terminologies', needed to grasp the Concept of Spirituality. The book takes us on the journey of Decision Making, a critical aspect of human lives. Our actions are dependent on the decisions that we make. We know that actions create Karmas. Actions are preceded by Thoughts and have two back stage operators- 'Emotions and Intent'. 'Karmas' are thus, initiated, moment 'Intents and Emotions' are set in. Did you also know that our 'Intents and Emotions' have a source in our 'EGO'? The book goes on to provide 'Simple and Short' acronyms for its readers to 'delve into', to practice them in their routine daily life, and to make their lives more effective. The book takes us to application of 'Spirituality' in the daily routine of one day of living. This entails raising our energies high enough, even to manifest what we wish to attain and that which we wish to discard. Before coming to nine meditations in the last Chapter of the book, it also covers, "How to attain Oneness and Universal Consciousness, much needed for living in Awareness. This would lead us to be Balanced and Discriminative. This ensures us to understand our own-selves better and make us more contributing to the society around us. Meditation makes us Focus and Concentrate', initially on '3-D Object (s), then to a Line (2-D), to a Point (1-D), and finally on The Subtle SELF'. The book, paves the path for us to move beyond 'Maya-Ignorance, which binds and limits the human through development and usage of Intellect. This would make us un-limited, free, balanced, and make us apply infinitude and oneness, in our routine lives.
