KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
G-DLY KNOWLEDGE IS SUPER POWER.
“It was taught in the academy of Elijah the Prophet; Anyone who studies halachot (at least two laws) every day is assured of a share in the World to Come.”( Megillah 28b) Rabbi Shneur Zalman, founder of the Chabad movement and author of the Holy Tanya, defines halachot as, "clearly adjudicated laws of practical application."
The following, are from the book of laws, compiled by the Rambam, Maimonides. Besides the great practical guidance and its worldly benefits, it additionally is comforting to know, we are securing our seat in heaven by reading this article and infusing a G-dly wisdom into our minds and lives.
Flirting and empty heads…….Get married & stay beezy.……. a person should distance himself from levity, intoxication, and flirtation, for they are great precipitators and steps leading to forbidden relations.
A man should not live without a wife, for this practice (living with a wife) leads to great purity. Our Sages gave even greater advice, saying: "A person should always turn himself and his thoughts to the words of the Torah and expand his knowledge in wisdom, for the thoughts of forbidden relations grow strong solely in a heart which is empty of wisdom."
………Similarly, it is a mitzvah of our Sages that a man should not live without a wife, so that he will not be prompted to (forbidden) sexual thoughts. Similarly, a woman should not live without a man, so that she will not be suspected of immoral conduct……
Following directions from the INTERNET while being ignorant of the complete book of instructions, is a bad recipe…..According to Jewish law we may only eat certain animals, and only if slaughtered according to exact specifications. If someone claims he can do it right, even though he hasn’t studied the rules……..
…..Even if such a person slaughtered animals properly in our presence four or five times and this slaughter which he performed in private appears to be a proper and a complete slaughter, it is forbidden to partake of it. Since he does not know the factors that can disqualify ritual slaughter, it is possible that he will cause the slaughter to be disqualified unknowingly. For example, he may wait ….or slaughter with a blemished knife, or the like inadvertently……and not even know what he did is unacceptable.
The commandment is ….as many little ones as possible ……………………….Although a man has fulfilled the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) of being fruitful and multiplying, ( by having a boy and a girl) he is bound by a Rabbinic commandment not to refrain from being fruitful and multiplying as long as he is physically potent. For anyone who adds a soul to the Jewish people is considered as if he built an entire world………
And….the purpose of life is best fulfilled in this manner.
Don’t even keep the dishonesty in your possession….It’s bad energy……AND...……..Whoever possesses an imperfect measure or weight in his home or store violates a negative commandment, as Deuteronomy 25:13 states: "You shall not have in your pocket two sets of weights...." One may not even use the imperfect measure as a chamber pot. For even if one does not use the imperfect measure oneself to buy and to sell, another person who does not know that it is imperfect may come and use it as a measure, and you will have caused another person to sin…..
Don’t even raise that hand against another………………….It is forbidden for a person to injure anyone, neither his own self nor another person. Not only a person who causes an injury, but anyone who strikes in strife…… whether a minor or an adult, whether a man or a woman, violates a negative commandment, as Deuteronomy 25:3 states: "Do not continue... to flog him." One may conclude that if the Torah adjures us against adding to the blows due a sinner, (as his punishment) surely this prohibition applies with regard to striking a righteous person.
It is even forbidden to raise up one's hand against a colleague. Whoever raises a hand against a colleague, even though he does not hit him, is considered to be a wicked person…..
