Half Their Days

The Book of Psalms tells us about the length of our days here on earth. It tells us in chapter 90:10 that: The length of our days is seventy years-or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Some think that seventy or eighty years is a long time. Well yes is some respect, but Moses lived his years unto 120. Now we must understand what a day means. The dictionary explains it as meaning a period of time, a period of ascendancy ( ascendancy meaning dominance, upper hand, authority), and journey.

Women in Jewish Literature

Among the songs of the Bible there are two, belonging to the oldest monuments of poetry, which have preserved the power to inspire and elevate as when they were first uttered: the hymn of praise and thanksgiving sung by Moses and his sister Miriam, and the impassioned song of Deborah, the heroine in Israel.

Jewish Fairy Tales

How the wise Rabbis of old took into account the necessities of the little ones, whose minds they understood so perfectly, is obvious from such legends as those dealing with boyish exploits of the great Biblical characters, Abraham, Moses, and David. There is a wealth of delightful imagination in the legends and folk-lore of the Jews of a later period which is almost entirely unknown to children. I have drawn also on these sources for some of the stories here presented. My desire is to give boys and girls something Jewish which they may be able to regard as companion delights to the treasury of general fairy-lore and childish romance.

God is Not Responsible For the Bad Things That Happen, So Who Is?

The word good appears seven times in the first chapter of Genesis. Scripture states emphatically that everything God made was good. One of God’s attributes is that He is goodness in perfect form. So why do bad things happen and where does evil come from?

The Reluctant Legalist – Every Christian

Every minister of God walks this particular tightrope, though some might aggressively disagree. Our human nature, apart from God I mean, dictate that from time to time we cross the line, plummeting in the sins of judgment, prejudice and wrongful discrimination, however subtle.
