Great post, Allen: Jonah was read in the synagogue yesterday evening, Yom Kippur.

This is a Test, this is only a test of your..... Deu 8:11 “Be on guard, lest you forget יהוה your Elohim by not guarding His commands, and His right-rulings, and His laws which I command you today, 12 lest you eat and shall be satisfied, and…

Dear Melanie: Don't be timid. Your questions are valuable, and can't offend anyone. I just added a blog about your question of evil. It was in response to a Ben Noah woman's question at the Noahide Nations Yahoo Group. If it's…

Hi Melanie, are you asking if the concept of non-dualism can be found in the Kabbalah? It might be helpful to consider Kabbalah as a philosophy rather than a religion. Have you read any of Ken Wilber's writings? My simple thought is that if one…

Hez, Very cool principles at work here - I really must look more into the fields of jewish mysticism and philosophy! Thanks for this. Anyone got any book recommendations for me on both the jewish mysticism and the Jewish philosophy fields…

Dave - the words 'aargghhhh you are making my brain work and that hurts' come to mind, of course added into that are the thoughts - are you trying to get me stoned (and i dont mean that in a 12 step way)! Cause if I put down all I sort of…

ok so you are asleep!.....maybe we can get an answer from a dream. LOL Cain was asked "why is your face down (or fallen)....... We can't just assume that it was because his offering was not accepted......can we? so we assume his heart…

Hey Dave, Greed, envy, jealousy - that's the why, its the why for the snake back in the beginning as well I think. Truth to tell its the why for most things in terms of moral evil. But the bigger question, and if I may is that what…

Hez, Thank you for this but did you just call me pompous?? :0)

Sandra, Thanks for this but did you deliberately miss the bit where I said I only work for 6 days of the week and on the 7th I rested?? Thats the rule given in your own quotes - Sabbath means seventh day. Unfortunately in my culture that means a…

Hi Sandra, Thanks for this - all been done and that is what brings me to this point. However as the Tanakh itself points out these questions are not so simple and are the ones we constantly come back to -Job, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, Amos, Psalms -…

Melanie Carroll replied to Melanie Carroll's discussion 'HaShem Creator of all... and evil.'

Hey Hez man, thanks for this - makes such a nice change to hear someone else express the inconsistency I see here. That is the issue for me - how can we claim HaShem created all and there is none like him, and then deny the fact of evil as being in…

I'm a Twit and Dave poked me!

No really it's true - i am a Twit and Dave cole poked me! that is to say of course that I spend a fair wack of time with twitter running and me posting 140 character nonsense - what can I say I am a bird brain with a very short attention span and its about all I can ever do to get one sentence out that makes any sort of sense, therefore twitter is a perfect medium for me!

anyway Dave Cole is a great eprson and tonight dropped me a tweet and poked me with a reminder that I had been a little… Continue

I'm a bad group member!

Hi guys,

I want to take the time to apologise to everyone for being a bad group member and not taking the time to at least post quick notes and keep up.

As I mentioned before in my previous blogs things have all been a bit taxing at home with lots of family illnesses, freinds bereavments and just tumultous times really - and in all of this I got lazy and lax and let things slide - the group being one of the casualties.

I admit to probably being in a low grade funk and… Continue

Still busy with life and wanting to keep up!

Hi Guys,

Ok as with the last blog post my life is still a little bit fraught (or frenetic not quite sure on which fits best!) with my mum getting better but not quite right yet, but add into that then my sister decided to go down with tonsilitus and laryngitus both at the same time which actaully causes a lot of problems to the vocal box it appears (and anyway tonsillitus in your 30's is not fun anyway according to the Doctor and that's without the other!).

So I have not only… Continue

I'm sort of back!

Ok this is a quick blog piece just to let you all know that though you have had a nice rest from me - and no I really wasn't sulking because I couldn't be at the UIWU conference in person! I was there in e-spirit on sunday via webby tech! - I am going to be around a bit more again.

I still have lots to say yet and haven't even had a chance yet to post my thoughts on Restoring Abrahamic Faith yet, let alone the 101 things I want to discuss and dismantle with you all, all the while… Continue

Random Things

Ok, this is just a random post that may or may not go anywhere or mean anything - pretty much the story of a life - action or procrastination, guess like Hez says in his post on Good & Evil it's a choice thing!

So anyway today whilst getting the coffee in Starbucks I caught the headlines of the Guardian Newspaper which annoyed me a little - though to be honest why Starbucks insists on stocking… Continue

I do enjoy reading your responses on this site.....so keep it up. You have my dream job....a book store. My own mom managed a religious book store many years ago and she would give me bible samples that were missing the text. They were used only as an example of the cover and paper quality. But I loved to bring one to church and say "thats not what my bible says" tee hee.

Yes, that is a cello, but I only dream of playing it! It is my son's, although he does not play it much - the cello teacher in our area is booked for years! He has concentrated more on the violin and guitar, which is great too.

We are a good few weeks behind England as far as the arrival of Spring goes....our mountains (see pic above!) of snow are steadily receding, and mostly it is 'short-sleeve and sunscreen' weather, which is something I am still getting used to - so strange to be out walking in the warm sun with mounds of snow everywhere! (We immigrated here from Cape Town, South Africa), although my husband is originally from England).

Your writing style is very engaging....obviously you love books and are surrounded by them all day!

'See' you around,
Sharon

How did your day off go, reading your new book? I picture you sitting reading out in a lovely English country garden....daffodils nodding in the breeze....bluebells...birds singing...

At 5:35am on March 24, 2009, Ross Nichols said…: Ha! - Thanks for noticing and for alerting me to the "ads" that were attached to my class. I guess I do need to somehow make that part of the package. "Learn Torah and get your meds cheap".

You are doing a wonderful job here at the SWW and I hope to meet you one day.
