I do not claim to be a “Rabbi” but with my 40 + years on this earth I’ve observed the truth in my way that I believe could help those in-between. For many of my prayers although unconventional have been answered and I believe that even those who lack the training/understanding may find a closer conscious with G-D if they follow the tenants of “Basic Judiasm“. I’ve listed (below) the basic tenants of this path and will continue to expand on it over time. It is not to challenge those that are more traditional for I truly believe they have a clear path to “salvation” but offer an alternate vision that G-D willing will help those in-between as well.
(1) G-D IS ALL GOOD & POWERFUL- There is only one G-D and all our worries and prayers should be directed to thee.
(2) TORAH IS TRUE- This book must be followed when clear assertions are made such as thou shalt not eat swine. Yet there is room for interpretations when it is not clear.
(3) TALMUD HELPS WITH INTERPRETATIONS/CLARIFICATIONS- The Talmud should be studied because very wise, thoughtful people worked tirelessly on trying to find meaning in every word yet there might be a different path for some.
(4) INDIVIDUALITY- It is important for an individual to find their own path for G-D didn’t make us all the same. We may start with the same room put paint it in very different colors. Therefore although we must respect the traditional observations especially at Synagogue we must also have the room to express our faith in our way (as long as it doesn’t conflict with the Torah)
(5) PRAYER- Shouldn’t just come from prayer book but in your heart and soul. Therefore when experiencing a moment your own words can and should come out to G-D and thou will listen to you as if it was written by the great scholars of anytime.
