🙏🏽 PREYING

RAYMOND DANSEREAU: Christian morality provides the duty to care for the sick and dying.

Virginia Millano Evangelista Fabro~Rivera: There's not that much Pain. The Arm is better. [Shingles are only in the Fingertips.]
Clifford Fabro Rivera: Yay! Now, you can cook for me.

"So the Palestinians were subdued and they stopped invading Israel's territory. Throughout the Prophet's timeline, the hand of the LORD was against the Palestinians" (1 Samuel 7:13). "He went on a circuit from The Jerusalem Post / JPost.com to The Times of Israel to The Jewish Press, judging Israel in all those places" (1 Samuel 7:16).


I resolved to know
Nothing except Jesus Christ
And Him crucified.
JOSHUA TRACHTENBERG: The dead are quite aware of everything that is said here on earth; laudatory or derogatory remarks concerning them are promptly rewarded or punished. Because of the alertness of the spirits to human actions, pious deeds performed on their behalf, such as prayer, charity, ascetic practices, lighting candles, have a double utility besides their purely ritual significance—they serve to improve the lot of the soul in the realm to which it has been transported, and they give "pleasure" to the spirit. Nor do they go unrewarded. The spirit, in its turn, "prays for the well-being of the living."


ROBERT BEATTY: First, prayer had become nothing more than a ritual. The Jew prayed but his prayers were scripted and the form was set. He either quoted them from memory or read them. Thus, a Jew could "pray" and not even think about what he was saying. Every morning and evening, faithful Jews would repeat the Shema. This prayer was formed from selected phrases from the Scriptures. Then, prayer was limited to preset times and occasions. Instead of praying when they felt led to, or when a need arose, they prayed at set times. Some religious groups do this today, and there is nothing wrong with praying at predetermined times, but we are called upon to be in an attitude of prayer at all times. The Jews also believed, in Jesus' day, that the longer and more elaborate the prayer, the more likely it was to be heard by God. Jesus warned against that practice.

Candi: Many people receive healing through soaking prayer.

Joe St. George: It's possible the Supreme Court could make prayer a lot more prevalent in public schools by the next school year.

Bobby Mathews: One common failure in our prayer life is bringing requests to God and promptly forgetting them. This might indicate how little importance we attach to them. For this reason many Christians have found a prayer list helpful. It reminds us to pray daily for our needs and the needs of others, and also increases our faith when we see how God has responded to our requests.

Lori Stanley Roeleveld: We make prayer a priority and pray, not only for our own needs but also for the needs of others. Now, every one of us represents God before humanity and can intercede for humanity before God. This is the ministry of the church. We are part of something greater – a royal priesthood.

SHAUL YISRAELI: There is also a special prohibition in regard to tzara’at: it is forbidden to cut off a tzara’at lesion (Devarim 24:9; Makkot 22a).


BIMBAM: A new Hebrew month (Adar II) begins on March 7 at sundown. That means it's also Rosh Chodesh. 
BARRY EUGENE WILMORE: We go to couple of universities here and there’s some very intelligent people here obviously. Not you need a maximum intelligence to go to space but if they have the desire. Right now, the Philippines don’t have an agreement with the US to fly astronauts. The only other way to fly in space is with the Russians. They don’t have an agreement there. For that standpoint, there are things that need to take place with the governments for a Filipino to do that.
VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA: They can't go, if they don't shave. It's a prerequisite.










Jewish law requires that incantations only be recited during the Full or New Moon, Before Sunset, and during the Sabbath.
Congregants turn their faces skywards and say: Halleluyah. Praise God from the heavens, praise God from the heights. Blessed are You, God, Sovereign of the universe, who with but a word created the heavens and who said to the moon that she will be renewed as a crown of splendor for all God’s children, just as they are destined to be renewed like her. 
A private prayer for those in need of healing or seeking to have a child is sometimes inserted here.
"ישעיה בן אברהם הלוי הורוויץ wrote that the eve of the first day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan) is the most auspicious time to pray for one’s children and grandchildren, since Sivan was the month that the Torah was given to the Jewish people. He composed a special prayer to be said on this day, known as the Tefillat HaShlah - the Shlah’s Prayer. It is a prayer for children, who will grow up to be G-d fearing and righteous."

"Every New Moon, at night"
Kaitlin Coppock and Sphere + Sundry LLC: Good times to make offerings and do rituals for the deceased —

LIVES GO ON

LOIS TVERBERG: Traditionally, Jewish people have considered the study of the Bible truly living out one’s “eternal life.” A story is told about a rabbi who spent years in study of the Scriptures, and then walked past farmers tilling their land. He remarked, “they have abandoned lasting life (chayei olam) and involve themselves instead with fleeting life (chayei sha’ah).”

GIDON ROTHSTEIN: For a man who passes away without children, for whatever reason, God provided a way to have one child. A willing brother—and, colloquially although not Biblically, another relative if no brother is available—can serve as the vehicle for God to arrange the genetics to allow the deceased a descendant to carry on his particular biological legacy.
JONATHAN HENRY SACKS: You achieve immortality by being part of a covenant – a covenant with eternity itself, that is to say, a covenant with God. 
That is what Moses meant when he said, "It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and oath, but with whoever stands with us here today before the Lord our God as well as those not with us here today" (Deut. 29: 13-14). 
And so Moses, the greatest leader we ever had, became immortal. Not by living forever. Not by building a tomb and temple to his glory. We don’t even know where he is buried. He didn’t even become immortal the way Aaron did, by seeing his children become his successors. He became immortal by making us his disciples.
MICHAEL KNOPF: Community is supposed to be covenantal, not transactional. Communities are made up of people committed to supporting each other and to the infrastructure and systems that facilitate communal well-being. While a member of an organization is primarily interested in what he or she is receiving for him or herself, a participant in a community, while not necessarily sacrificing his or her own needs, is simultaneously interested in the welfare of his or her neighbors and in the success of the community as a whole. 
Synagogues in our era will only flourish if they cease being transactional, service-providing organizations and become true covenantal communities. Changing terminology won’t itself accomplish this task. But then again, recall that when God set about creating the world, God chose to do so through words.
SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS: If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvellous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?

STEPHEN JOSHUA SONDHEIM

HALINA PEABODY: They will do their best to carry our memories. We have given our pictures, our papers. They are there to make people understand what can happen if we are not vigilant. And in my family, the second and third generation is also working very hard to learn our stories. My granddaughter, for instance, says she will make a movie.
GEORGE GITTLEMAN: Judaism is all about memory. We are redeemed when we remember because it is only in memory that we have any clue about who we are and what we are here for. 
For us, memory is the tie that binds the chain of Jewish tradition from Avraham Avinu to the present. Memory is the glue that holds the pieces of our lives together in a meaningful way. 
Jews use our memories to navigate the seas of time. Memory, valuing and cultivating memory is one of our secrets of survival.

Mark Twain mused over how such a small, persecuted people could contribute so much to society and survive the vicissitudes of so much history. God knows the true story. Still, I bet our penchant for memory along with the enduring values embedded in our memories has something to do with why we are still around.
WIKIPEDIA: Banzai [ばんざい] is a traditional Japanese exclamation meaning "ten thousand years" of long life,,,
Avodah Zara 5a:13: the Jewish people would have become immortal had they not sinned with the Golden Calf.
DAVID H. AARON: Had Adam and Eve eaten of both trees in the center of the garden they would have been transformed into the equivalent of deities. But since they ate only of the Tree of Knowledge, they were left with but two-thirds of a god's characteristics. That is, we look like the gods (having been created in their image), and we have the ethical discernment of gods as a result of having eaten of the Tree of Knowledge. However, having failed to grab the fruit of eternal life before being banished from Eden, we did not acquire immortality. 
Many of these details are shared with stories in other ancient cultures. For instance, Gilgamesh, King of Uruk (ancient Babylon), is also two-thirds god and one-third human (see Tablet I, line 46). Just as in the Genesis story, the missing third is immortality itself.

JEWISHENCYCLOPEDIA: The word "paradise" is probably of Persian origin.

PATTI WIGINGTON: Coffee: neutralizes harmful magic
Naftali Silberberg: The very body that died will be resurrected.
