Shabbat shalom! Thread for discussion of Jewish scriptures and writings, Tanach, halakha, kabbalah, philosophy etc.

Started pic related a few days ago. Just finished the author's preface and waiting to get more in depth, it's about the importance of loving and trusting God and the heart's intention before all the practical commands. Very interesting and well written.

assuming you mean jewish books by jewish authors (if not you can choose from Kafka, Heine, Bialik, Proust, the Bible...): jewish mysticism is great, you can read Scholem for an introduction to the Zohar and that sort of things. You can try Maimonides, Mendelssohn, Benjamin for instance. a favorite of mine is A.D. Gordon.

Sort of...like...they're undeniable things aka. irrefutable truths about life.

You can't deny pain.It's a fundamental blablabla of human existence.

Otherwise it just reads as ''yo just ya life, smoke and chill homie '' altough it could be argued that suffering is one level beyond pain(even tough it's a component of it)

I started to read Kabbalah and its Symbolism (I think that's the English name, I read it in Hebrew), just a few chapters in it's completely mind-opening. The first chapter is about the relationship between the personal exprience of the mystic and the tradition from which he comes from, some very interesting insights.

My Lord Christ died on the Cross. God strode on the Earth and he asked men why they could not have the feintest compassion and awareness of the air we all but breath and his mothers people ripped him apart.
They spat on his grave and for what? For their measley fucking shekals, counting silver high. So they can move their rat hands and twitch their rat smiles for centuries to come being a scorn to all hard working people. The people they rely on to keep the streets moving and keep their games affloat and their response is to spit and make jokes at the very notion of salvation and love. Of God himself.

This hostile attitude towards the people you consider as enemies and blame in such a generalizing manner for something some of their ancestors might have done in the past doesn't seem very Christian of you. But you probably rather worship idols in church than actually heed the teachings of your messiah, like most Christians.
