Tuesday, Cheshvan 28, 5777. November 29, 2016. Shalom! World.  Será o Judaísmo uma religião, uma cultura ou uma nação? Estas são as questões presentes na modernidade e este meu texto tentará, e confesso já, que não alcançarei, explicar estes caminhos como respostas. Contudo, vamos lá.            Saarbrucken/Germany Mauthausen/Austria O Judaísmo historicamente tem sido uma religião da Lei e por isto da Prática.

Rashi Synagogue - Worms/Germany Monday, Cheshvan 20, 5777. November 21, 2016. Shalom! World.  Rashi Synagogue - Worms/Germany Rashi asks a question about the first verse of the the first chapter of the first book of the Torah, "In the beginning G'd created Heaven and earth." Rashi's question is, why does the Torah begin with a description rather than with commandments?

Rashi answers that this was done because there would come a time when the nations would accuse the Jews of being crooks and impperialists. They would say, "You stole the land from the nations!" Therefore, the Torah begins with the story of creation so that we will know h...
