What Need for Wisdom?

!) I was always afraid to study Kabbala, since I had heard that it is forbidden to study kabbala
without being knowledgeable in Tanach.
2) I have beenthinking a long time about being a a servant, and what this means.
It is interesting to note that a King (Black Prince) of England adopted, as his motto::

"Ich Dien"---------------------"I Serve"

If God made a perfect world, what need would there be for wisdom? Wisdom is daily renewal. Someone once said, One cannot keep from getting sunshine whom shares it with others. Reply

Political and religious slander and threats seem to increase around Hanukkah, Christmas, Passover, and Easter. I wonder why? Reply

To understand how something works, first it must be taken apart. Reply

What is wisdom? Wisdom is not defined by my opinion of what it should be (nor by the opinion of any other human being). Wisdom is defined in only one place in all of the Torah, Prophets and Writings. Devarim 4:5 - 6 says that wisdom is safeguarding and obeying the decrees and ordinances of the Torah. Only G_d can define what wisdom really is. When we safeguard and obey the Torah, then we restore what was broken - we help to create echad (the whole) out of division and brokenness. The Proverbs tell us about the benefits of wisdom, but never actually define it. The only definition of wisdom is in the Torah (cited above). Reply

Good That upon the the table was the space made perfect. As man was made last to stand and marvel of the Glory of His Creation. That wisdom is served and man would know of the beginning of his purpose. Reply

Angels Do Not need Wisdom Initially we werre like good angels - He bonded all of us togrther in love and harmony - This was all we knew - there was no opposite, no boundary to this bliss.

Then He removed the bonds between us. We gradually distanced from each other to realize selfish world.

Now the Wisdom of the Kabbalists has been disclosed to provide the method to reform those bonds of Love. Then we will be like G_d, having consciously learned to form the mutual care for others and can comprehend the Force behind creation.

We finally produce a world glowing much more intense with the Light we were awarded from our efforts. Reply

Perfect World... The world GOD made is perfect... He says so in the Torah; ALL IS GOOD and full of all the wisdom we really need. What else would GOD create? So who exactly is contradicting GOD?

Who? The broken ones that need more, the fearful who need a story to calm their fears, those who are not satisfied with GODs creation, the ones who lust for power to control others, those who can profit from it, those who are not satisfied with GOD's commandment not to add to the Torah.

GOD is here now in his full splendor, no need to look further or deeper, to take on the superstitious beliefs of the Christians as we did in the 16 and 17th centuries or live through fairytales. The forest we have planted has come to obscure GOD. Wake up everyone! Reply

A Need For Wisdom? This question doesn't settle well with me because it commends competiveness withdrawn from passion. Wisdom means wits, humor, sagacity. The people who make your life enjoyable everyday are sagacious and witty therefore, these are the people who create a perfect world. The story regarding the family with the down-syndrome daughter is a good story because it tells the story that each one of us was put on this world to make a difference. Reply

Shattered Vessels... Continuous strife for over 3,000 years is a lot of shattered vessels to repair. G-d has given us seemingly insurmountable challenges at times during our history. While we are immersed in human and world struggles, Moshiach is in our midst. Our goal then, is to bring more light, one candle at a time, one random act of kindness, one conscious one. And, the more light that is brought into the world at this juncture, gives all due respect to those that came before us. During the month of Elul when spiritual introspection is part and parcel of every day, we pray to better ourselves in the coming year to repair those shattered vessels and reaffirm that all is for the good.

Creating a Need for Wisdom This reminds me of my daughter, Madison, born with Down syndrome, legally deaf and who has severe scoliosis. Here is what I have learned from her that I did not learn from her normal brother and sister.

I do not take anything in her life for granted. Every single tiny step in maturity or anything however simple that she learns is cause for an incredible celebration; cheers, applause! Madison doesn't suffer any pain, indignity or sorrow. Every day of her life is a "yom tov". It would not have been that way had Hashem created her "perfect" in the eyes of this world rather than "perfect" in His. Reply
