A Proibição de Falar o Nome – Uma Visão Geral de Fontes Selecionadas

Ultimamente eu tenho visto a renovação do debate em relação ao uso do nome de Deus.  O assunto à mão não é sobre a pronúncia correta, mas sobre o assunto base de usar o nome em geral.

Tem-se tornado um clamor comum que os sábios Judaicos, ou rabis, são aqueles que decretaram uma proibição sobre falar o nome de Deus. Contudo, um exame das fontes leva a uma conclusão completamente diferente.

Lately I have been seeing the renewal of the debate in regard to the use of the name of God. The subject at hand is not about the correct pronunciation, but on the base subject of using the name in overall.

I have been asked multiple times on the subject of reincarnation in the bible and Judaism. The following are my personal thoughts and understandings as being a person who has come across this belief in mainstream Judaism of today. As a person who has been raised in Orthodoxy and has also received academic training, I cannot find concrete data on this belief as an ancient one. This affects the validity of said belief and opens it up to modern criticism which cannot use ancient sources.

2 Chronicles 30:1

From our weekly bible class, we look at how converts have been handled at different times, and how King Hizkiyahu’s passover is a defining point in the history of identity.

On a regular basis I get asked the question “Where does the star of David come from?”.

Due to the fact that many people want to use this star as a symbol of being Jewish, or affiliating themselves with Judaism, it is important to know some of the history.
