Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - Moshe Chaim Luzzatto

In Derekh Hashem Section II, chapter 7, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto discusses the influence of stars on humanity and events on earth. There he gives two reasons for the existence of stars and planets. The first is that stars and planets maintain the existence of all physical things on earth, acting as the means by which spiritual forces are transmitted to physical entities. The second is that events on earth are also initiated through planetary and stellar activity. Luzzatto states that each earthly phenomenon is assigned to a specific ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - Rabbinic rejection of astrology
In early classical rabbinic works written in the land of Israel (Jerusalem Talmud and Palestinian midrash compilations) astrologers are known as astrologos and astrologiyya. In early classical rabbinic works written in Babylon, astrologers were called kaldiyyim, kalda'ei, and iztagninin. The Babylonian Talmud (BT), in Sanhedrin 65, suggests that this means that Jews may not consult an astrologer. Another tr ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - In the Bible

Astrology is not specifically mentioned in the Torah, the five books of Moses. There are two commandments which have been used by some authorities as a basis to forbid the practice. "You shall not practice divination or soothsaying." (Leviticus 19:26, New JPS) "When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abhorrent practices of the nations. Let no one be found among you who...is an auger, a soothsayer, a diviner, a sorceror, one casts spells.....For anyone who does these things is abhor ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - Rabbinic acceptance of astrology

However, other statements in the Talmud and in the midrash literature show that many Jews had some level of admiration for astrology. Some hold that the stars generally do control the fate of people and nations, but Abraham and his descendents were elevated by their covenant with God, and thus achieve free will. (Midrash Genesis Rabbah 44:12, Yal., Jer. 285). A statement in the Tosefta (Kiddushin 5:17) holds that the blessing bestowed on Abraham is the gift of astrology. Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah states that the rulers of some non-Jewish were experts in ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - In the medieval era

Many rabbis in the Geonic era (after the close of the Talmud, early medieval period) discussed the varying Talmudic and midrashic views on astrology. One responsa takes a middle view: Otzar HaGeonim 113, concludes that astrology has some reality, in that the stars give a person certain inclinations; however each person has the ability to overcome their own inclinations, and thus maintains free will. Astrology was practised by some Jews throughout the Middle Ages, both as a professional art and as a science. Coming from the East ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Jewish views of astrology - Views in the modern era

Strictures against astrology appear in the official Torah commentary of Conservative Judaism and on the official website of Reform Judaism, and a number of Conservative and Reform rabbis have written against the practice. Commenting on Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Etz Hayim, the official Torah commentary of Conservative Judaism writes "Hence the use of astrology is prohibited (BT Pesachim 113b)." Similarly, Rabbi Simchah Roth, a Conservative Masorti rabbi comments negatively on astrology in his "Halakhah Study Group" session. (Halakhah Study Group, Nov. 18 2003, ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia II - Yehuda Ashlag - Teachings

Ashlag’s commentary offered a systematic interpretation of the legacy of Isaac Luria. This was the first since the 18th century when the Baal Shem Tov, Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (Ramchal), the Vilna Gaon and Sar Shalom Sharabi (the Rashash) offered their interpretation of Luria’s teaching. Ashlag’s system focused on the transformation of human consciousness from a state of desiring to receive, to desiring to give. This path of transf ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia - Acharonim

Acharonim (אחרונים Hebrew - sing. Acharon) literally "the later ones", is a term used in Jewish law and history, to signify the leading Rabbis and Poskim living from roughly the 16th century to the present. The acharonim follow the Rishonim, the "first ones" - the rabbinic scholars between the 13th and the 16th century following the Geonim and preceding the Shulkhan Arukh.

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia - Free will

Free will is the philosophical doctrine that holds that our choices are ultimately up to ourselves. The phrase "up to ourselves" is vague, and, just like free will itself, admits of a variety of interpretations. Because of this ambiguity, the utility of the concept of free will is questioned by some. Several logically independent questions can be asked about free will. Free will - Determinism versus indeterminism. Determinism holds that each state of affairs is necessitated (determined) by the states of aff ...

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto: Encyclopedia - Divine simplicity

In theology, the doctrine of divine simplicity says that God is without parts. Divine simplicity - In Christian thought. In Christian thought, the importance of the concept is that God as a simple being is not divisible, and thus, he is present in his entirety everywhere that he is present, if he is present anywhere.
