Why I started this blog
Topic: Talmidi spirituality
I am increasingly concerned that the discussion group I belong is going down the kabbalist / rabbanite route, discussing things which have nothing to do with Talmidaism. I am very worried, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. I can only try to emphasise the Talmidi view. I feel helpless. And disillusioned.
I will try to introduce things that hold my interest as a Talmidi Jew, but I fear that no one else is interested. I guess I can respect that though. Anyway, I'm putting my thoughts out into the ether. At least no one can get annoyed with me here!
In fairness to the group, there are a few people there who understand where I'm coming from. I pray daily for all of them, and I love them, even though I don't tell them. When I went to the Western Wall in October, I prayed for all of them fervently.
God knows what is in my heart. I am only trying to follow what YHVH teaches. I am interested in the wonder and beauty of ancient Jewish culture, about the teachings of our ancient Talmidi community on compassion, forgiveness, love, humility, understanding.
It is my hope that, by putting out my thoughts here on this weblog, I will be able to give people an idea of what it is like to be a Talmidi Jew, a Follower of the Way.
