I chanced upon a book that really got me interested in my Jewish heritage. I haven't really been so observant for a good portion of my life but I still could never justify opting out of Judaism altogether. After all, we have really suffered for keeping and observing the same beliefs that today we often take for granted in a world that pushes for questioning religion and being a skeptic while simply ignoring the fact that indeed questioning science is also something that must be done. I don't want to put myself entirely in the believer camp yet, but all I have understood from this book is that if we must be iconoclasts then let us equally scrutinize everything. 

Here is a brief summary of the book below and the link to the book for anyone that is interested in reading further. - (This is a 4 part series)

This four-volume judicial review, addressed to the skeptical, non-religious Jewish mind, delivers a shocking verdict: "Real Judaism" is a proven, non-faith religion, vindicated by cold logic and unavoidable evidence, not sentiment or superstition. The implication is clear: rejecting your heritage is intellectually dishonest and leads directly to Jewish self-annihilation.
Here is a short, compelling summary of the case presented across the four books:

1. Let's Really Try to Disprove Judaism: This volume establishes the uniqueness of Judaism's core claim: a mass, simultaneous, public Revelation at Sinai in 1312 BCE, unlike other faiths based on unwitnessed, private revelations. The mathematical force of the Law of Probability proves that the survival of this story for over 3,000 years is impossible if it were a lie. The odds were against survival by roughly 50,000 to 1. Your existence as a Jew today is presented as the living, inexplicable proof that the claim must be true.
   
2. Judaism on Trial: The case is strengthened by irrefutable non-Jewish evidence—including archaeology, history, DNA findings, and ancient texts from enemies like the Samarians. This confirms the unbroken, generational chain of testimony (the Sinai Argument). The ultimate objective witness, Sir Isaac Newton, is cited as having examined and intellectually embraced the Sinai argument, rejecting both atheism and faith religions for lack of judicial certainty.
   
3. Mutation: Schmutation: This volume contrasts the proven nature of Real Judaism with the secular atheist worldview, often rooted in the "Faith of Immaculate Mutation" (evolution). It argues that the secular framework, which rational Jews embrace, fails every legal and logical test that Judaism passes beyond a reasonable doubt. This irrational rejection of a proven heritage is attributed to a preference for a life of amoral freedom and intellectual laziness.
   
4. Why Bad Things Happen to Good People: The Hidden Book Answers: Having judicially established the Creator's existence, this final volume draws on the profound wisdom found in the Talmud (the encyclopaedic Oral Law). The Talmud is presented as the only source that provides robust, logical answers to the ultimate questions of existence, suffering, and justice. It explains that life is designed as an ultimate test of Freewill, proving that knowledgeable observance leads to emotional security and contentment, making the choice to assimilate the self-inflicted final solution.
   

Just wondering if there happens to be any Noahides who browse this forum.


Wondering what resources are best recommended for those who are interested/beginners and wanting to look more into Judaism while practicing the Seven Laws.

Interesting is the book, The Art of Jewish Hand-reading, by Dr. Matthew Lemburger, which I recently purchased.  I don't know how familiar any of you are about the Jewish Tree of Life but Lemberger explains that the Palmistry is derived and/or used in conjunction with that diagram. In other words, the 10 sephirots seen in the Tree of Life. For example, let's take at random the Gevurah. When looking at the Palmistry, the Gevurah hand refers to discipline, such as children when they are in their formative years, during which they are impressionable. And in adults, it can refer to sexual abstinence. I suppose such men would be adept at practicing celibacy. (Or maybe they have a testosterone problem.) After all, we know there are many Hindu Yogis who practice such abstinence. Anyway, this Gevurah is one of the 10 palm-prints which correspond to the 10 sephirots of the Tree.

Tomorrow evening marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, 5786.

I wish you all a sweet and good new year filled joy and love, health and goodness, healing of mind, healing of body, hope, all blessings, including that, at times, most elusive of all - peace.

Whether in Europe or in America, we all have to learn the new standard of free speech.

An interesting video on a Jewish perspective of sin.

The title is somewhat misleading as the video is more focused on a Jewish perspective than the "clash" as it is titled.

Aloha from Hawaii. Anybody else here in Honolulu? ?

Is there a link to prayers while wearing tefillin. I try do do it once a week.

When ever orthodox chabad workers visit my house they always want me to put on the tefillin and take pictures of me with them. Is this so they can show
the chabad organization that they have a congregation?
