❓SHOULD I EAT ON YOM KIPPUR? Inclusive Disability Torah on Fasting for the Day of Atonement
Rabbis get this question… all. the. time.
‘Should I eat on Yom Kippur?’
First of all: ALWAYS heed the advice of your doctor or mental health professional. Medical advice comes first! And indeed, sometimes, the answer is: YES! It’s a mitzvah to eat!
In this gentle, inclusive and affirming video, Rabbi Esther offers tips and perspectives for those who cannot fast for (mental or physical) health reasons. Using the book ‘Loving Our Own Bones’ by Rabbi Julia Watts Belser as a framework, Rabbi Esther discusses how Disability Torah can help guide and affirm our choices for navigating the Day of Atonement.

Before that they practiced the Laws of Moses. Judah practiced faith from Abraham and the ritual washings, circumcisions, and sacrifices. The Laws of what would become Judaism never existed until the Hebrew Israelites left Egypt and God instructed Moses to set down a strict regime to stop them from going back to Egyptian paganism. As time progresses, the Israelites would rebel against God, and to get them to repent and stay focused on their worship of Yahweh, more laws were put in place until all 613 laws were solidified into a 'Jewish' religion.

As I stated above, you also do not have a way to atone for sin in this modern world when it comes to Judaism. If you do how so? Because I have read the Old Testament and I'm very familiar with it. What Jews are doing today is not atonement for sin. Is the Laws of Moses not stand any longer? Can we just knit pick the bible as we wish? Read what King Josiah is prime example of atonement in the Old Testament. I recommend reading it. Fact is what the world believes does not matter to God, God is the same never has he changed. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is the same God today. What has changed is that he sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins. God was even sick of what the Hebrews where doing....

    • @asmallsanctuary
      @asmallsanctuary 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The short answer is: yes. The longer answer is, yes, but it might be complicated which doesn’t mean it can’t be done! The Law or Return, for the purposes of aliyah (immigration), is set by the (secular) Israeli government. Jewish religious status within Israel, however, is determined by the (Orthodox) Chief Rabbinate. The Israeli government recognizes all valid* conversions to Judaism, irrespective of denomination, for the purposes of aliyah under the Law of Return, just as it would recognize someone with one Jewish parent or grandparent for the same purposes. So a person with a Jewish father or grandfather, who might otherwise not be recognized under traditional Jewish Law (Halakhah), can make Aliyah as per the Israeli government, but would not be considered as Jewish by the Chief Rabbinate. This situation also applies to all non-Orthodox converts (Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal), and many more Modern Orthodox conversions which aren’t deemed sufficiently Orthodox by the Chief Rabbinate. The State of Israel will recognize them but the Chief Rabbinate will not. Predictably, this is a source of political tension within and outside of Israel and is stressful for many Jews who do not have Jewish status under Orthodox auspices. So yes, as long as your conversion is *bonafide (*meaning you did it sincerely, have a conversion certificate and a legitimate Beit Din and have been living as a Jew within your community for at least 9 months), you should qualify under the Law of Return. It may still be a challenging process given controversies over ‘Who Is A Jew’ under the Israeli Chief Rabbinate, but it is possible. While the State will give you Israeli citizenship, the Chief Rabbinate will not consider you Jewish for purposes of personal status: birth, marriage, death etc. This may impact synagogue membership, participation and burial rights. Of course, there is a Reform and Conservative Movement in Israel with a growing amount of synagogues, so make sure to check them out. Hope this helps! For references, see: lawoffice.org.il/en/aliyah-after-conversion-to-judaism/ Or contact the Jewish Agency directly. They have an extensive Aliyah Information website.

      TzitzitProject.com sells for all genders (including women). There are also individual sellers on Etsy like Rabbi Eliana Jacobowitz who make and sell them. Good luck!
