What do the Jewish people believe in? Animism, pantheism, henotheism, dualism, or monotheism? One chance at life, reincarnation, or resurrection? Something entirely else?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your curiosity is wonderful! So, let our words, here, help you to better understand the Jewish people of\/from Zion, our sacred ancestral Canaan land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a flat fact: If you get three Jews into a room together, you will get five opinions and hours of arguing, until someone brings food. \u2026 It\u2019s funny because it\u2019s absolutely true! This even happens in a synagogue, when the Rabbi dares to make a provocative d\u2019var!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, modern Judaism is comparable to Iranian Zoroastrianism in this respect. The Jewish halacha is the path for Jews to achieve doing good and repairing the world in an Indigenous people\u2019s lifeway. Fundamentally, the concepts of resurrection and olam ha\u2019ba are modern aspects to Judaism, Judah-people-ism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torah is very specific that all physical forms are simply nefesh, \u201ccreatures\u201d whether alive or dead, and it is the breath of Elohim, the Creator god, that gives animated life to nefesh through the neshama\/ruach, the \u201cbreath\u201d of life, meaning the spirit (or \u201csoul\u201d) of Elohim inhabiting nefesh \u2013 within our blood. When this breath of life is removed, the nefesh dies and goes to she\u2019ol. That\u2019s it, for ALL nefesh! We exist only because the Elohim shaped discernable reality from the chaotic abyss of primordial elements within Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, our Jewish people\u2019s lifeways are influenced by our regional and worldwide neighbors and their Indigenous lifeways. So, through India, we Jews have stories and beliefs of reincarnation, wherein Elohim\u2019s breath reincarnates with residual aspects of a former life into a new nefesh. And, through Mandaeism, we Jews have a concept of dualism \u2013 good and bad that is on a spectrum of opposition, which is foreign to Jewish inherent ethno-religious pluralism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of resurrection for the Jewish people is an influence of certain Egyptian and other Canaan nation influences, and is what northern Christianity absorbed through appropriation of Jewish people\u2019s evolving ethno-religious beliefs. Resurrection for the Jewish people is not about an individual \u2013 separate from body-mind \u2013 \u201ceternal soul\u201d of a unique singular human being but, rather, about Elohim\u2019s breath-of-life restoring a dead nefesh body to animated living status upon the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this comes the concept of olam ha\u2019ba, \u201cthe world to come\u201d here on our shared planet Earth, wherein those Jews revived from she\u2019ol will experience living life again during the age of the mashiach \u2013 the fully human Jewish warrior that defeats all nations\u2019 desire to attack, subjugate, and rule over sovereign Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the Jewish people do NOT have a set theology outside of observance of the covenantal mitzvot that we are obligated to by Y-HWH, the concept of kaf hakelah and gehinnom are foreign diaspora land lived influences upon our Jewish people. Yet, even with THESE influences, it is not the individual nefesh going through \u201cafterlife\u201d suffering for purification, it is the breath (spirit, \u201csoul\u201d) of Elohim trying to cleanse itself to return to the wholeness of Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what makes Judaism resolutely resilient to diaspora assimilation. For the Jewish people, every ethno-religious thought finds its origin first in Torah, from where this thought expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
