Basic Judaism – Doubt

doubt

 

“Basic Judaism” understands that you might be driving down the same highway but end up going a totally different path. We understand that a Rabbi and the wise books may not always be available to consult when driving past 55, yet we still want to make sure that we are on the right path. Here are several ways to make sure that path we travel on our “normal day” gets to where we should be going everyday.

(1) GREATEST GOOD/LEAST HARM SHORT & LONG TERM- Immediate gratifications can cause long term problems so think carefully about what you should do first.

(2)WORLD AROUND YOU- It is important to be informed about the “good book (Torah, Talmud) but also keep an eye on the world around you. For you can keep reading and not look up as you fall into a giant hole. G-D didn’t stop with the book and is involved in our life everyday, every place.

(3) FUN- A faithful life should be fun as well full of humor and happiness. Restrictions are meant to add to those good times. We may not go out on “Sabbath” so we can travel the world on Sunday.

(4) RESPECT/RITUAL- It is not enough to tolerate those that are more traditional but respect and understand where they come from.  Just because that path may not be ours doesn’t mean we don’t clean the path for our brothers & sisters.

(5) DOUBT AS WHOLE- Life might be bumpy at times but the smooth road is ahead. G-D has allowed those bumps so we can learn from them and make sure we steer away from them in our life’s journey.
