If we think about it, what is so unique about Judaism?
Much of it is really quite obvious, don’t kill, don’t steal, trust God etc.
What is unique about Judaism which is the essential jealousy it evokes, is, that it fundamentally alters man’s mission in life!
You see, a person can believe in idols and even God or allah, but they haven’t changed, for fundamentally they are narcissistic, selfish etc. etc. it’s just, they must adhere to, or curry favor with the idol or (lehavdil) God, in order to get their desires!
This is like a small child who isn’t necessarily respectful, rather compliant, for he knows where his bread is buttered!
But Judaism fundamentally alters the mission of man in life!
Life is about goodness and kindness – adhering to God is a necessity, in order to rein in our ego, anger and God forbid, hate! Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom – let your email find you!
