Ashlag wrote and published two great works. Talmud Eser Sefirot (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) is a complete re-editing and commentary to the seminal works of 16th century great Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria (the ARI). This is a comprehensive exposition of the system of the Upper Worlds, Partzufim and Sefirot, in the scientific language of Kabbalah which was developed by the ARI. As a core Kabbalistic text, it is especially unique in its utmost precision to detail to the structural organization and processes ...

Peace is everywhere recommended, and urged as the highest boon of man (Midrash Numbers Rabbah xi.; Talmud Pesachim i. 1.) Hatred, quarreling and anger are condemned as unethical, and potentially leading to murder. From the thought of a holy God emanated four virtues: (a) Chastity ("tzeniut" = "bashfulness"), which shuts the eye against unseemly sights and the heart against impure thoughts. Hence R. Meïr's maxim (Ber. 17a): "Keep your mouth from sin, your body from wrong, and I {God} will be with thee." (b) Humility. The presence of G ...

The Jewish idea of righteousness ("tzedakah") includes benevolence and charity. The owner of property has no right to withhold from the poor their share. The Rabbis decreed against Essene practise, and against advice given in the New Testament, that one give away much, most or all of their possessions. Since they did not expect a supernatural saviour to come and take of the poor, they held that one must not make themselves poor. Given that nearly all Jews of their day were poor or middle-class (even the rich of that time were o ...

The idea of God's holiness became in rabbinical ethics one of the most powerful incentives to pure and noble conduct. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God" (Deut. vi. 5) is explained (Sifre, Deut. 32; Yoma 86a) to mean "Act in such a manner that God will be beloved by all His creatures." Consequently a Jew is not only obliged to give his life as witness or martyr for the maintenance of the true faith, but so to conduct himself in every way as to pr ...

The Biblical commands regarding the treatment of the brute (Ex. xx. 10; Lev. xxii. 28; Deut. xxv. 4; Prov. xii. 10) are amplified in rabbinical ethics, and a special term is coined for Cruelty to Animals ("tza'ar ba'ale hayyim"). Not to sit down to the table before the domestic animals have been fed is a lesson derived from Deut. xi. 15. Compassion for the brute is declared to have been the merit of Moses which made him the shepherd of his people (Ex. R. ii.), while Judah ha-Nasi saw in his own ailment the punishment for ...

Yehuda Ashlag also wrote songs and composed melodies as expressions of his spiritual attainments. His music is said to be written directly from the spiritual worlds, and has a deep emotional connection with the rises and falls a Kabbalist experiences in his coming in contact with the upper worlds. Many of his melodies are composed to Kabbalistic text fragments, such as Bnei Heichala (words by the ARI), Ki Hilatzta Nafshi (words by King David), Tzadik Ke Tamar Ifrach, Hasal Seder Pesach, Leag ...

Although arguably the most popular form of lyric poetry in the Western tradition is the 14-line sonnet, either in its Petrarchan or its Shakespearean form, lyric poetry appears in a bewildering variety of forms. Ancient Hebrew poetry relied on repetition and chiasmus for many of its effects. Although much Greek and Roman classical poetry was written in forms with set meters and strophes, Pindar's odes seem as formless to the ear accustomed to rhyme and meter as such modern p ...

Much lyric poetry depends on regular meter based either on number of syllables or on stress. The most common meters are as follows: Iambic - two syllables, with the long or stressed syllable following the short or unstressed syllable. Trochaic - two syllables, with the short or unstressed syllable following the long or stressed syllable. Anapestic - three syllables, with the first two short or unstressed and the last long or stressed. Dactylic - three syllables, with the first one long or stressed and the other two short or unstressed. Some forms have a combination of meters, often ...

These two elements are common to structuring lyric poetry in the Western tradition and make poetry difficult to translate effectively. Old Norse poetry depended heavily on alliteration. Continental Europe and England developed complex rhyme schemes and used alliteration as an auxiliary device. Although to the lay ear, rhyme is the hallmark of poetry, it has become less and less common in poetry in European languages in the twentieth century. Principal lyric poets by period and language.

Although lyric poetry has a long and close association with love, and European lyric poetry in the vernacular arose with the courtly love tradition, it is not exclusively love poetry. Many of the courtly love poets (whether troubadors, trouvères, or Minnesänger) also wrote lyric poems about war and peace, nature and nostalgia, grief and loss. Notable among these are Christine de Pisan and Charles, Duke of Orléans, two of the great Frenc ...

We generally hold people responsible for their actions, and will say that they deserve praise or blame for what they do. However, many believe moral responsibility to require free will, in other words, the ability to do otherwise. Thus, another important issue is whether we are ever morally responsible, and if so, in what sense. Incompatibilists tend to think that determinism is at odds with moral responsibility. After all, how can one hold someone responsible for an action that could be predicted from the beginning of time? Hard dete ...

Meforshim is a Hebrew word meaning "(classical rabbinical) commentators" (or roughly meaning "exegetes"), and is used as a substitute for the correct word perushim which means "commentaries". In Judaism this term refers to commentaries by the commentators on the Torah (five books of Moses), Tanakh, the Mishnah, the Talmud, responsa, even the siddur (Jewish prayerbook), and more. Classic Torah and/or Talmud commentaries have been written by: Geonim Saadia Gaon, 10th century Babylon < ...
