Despite being set in the midst of a corrupt Egyptian society, the Jewish community was flourishing with schools, synagogues and social networks, and assimilation was virtually non-existent, and it was because they made a pact amongst themselves not to change their names, style of dress, or language. With these safeguards, they were able to keep a healthy distance. As Rabbi Shraga Simmons explains, at the beginning of this week’s Parsha, Shemot, the tide turned: Immediately after the old generation died, the Jewish People spread throughout Egypt and the assimilation began. They dropped their Jewish customs and blended into secular society. Immediately, verse 8 reports the rise of anti-Semitism in Egypt. What makes this so unusual is that hatred of one group for another is typically due to what sociologists call “dislike of the unlike.” The Egyptians didn’t mind as long as the Jews kept to themselves. It was once they began to resemble “regular Egyptians” that the anti-Semitism began. The dual loyalty issue had reared its ugly head. Anti-Semitism is often generated with the perception that Jews have power and influence. Read the rest of this entry »

Parshat Toldot tells the story of Yaakov (Jacob) and Esav, two brothers that couldn’t be any more different. When their father Yitzchok (Isaac) decides that it’s time to bless his two sons, Yaakov ends up getting the better of the two blessings. In comparing the two blessings, though, the Chafetz Chaim points out a very interesting

observation: When Yaakov gets the blessing, the Torah says “And may G-d give you of the dew of the heavens and of the fatness of the earth” (27:28). However, when Esav gets his blessing, Yitzchok says “Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling and of the dew of the heavens from above” (27:39). Why was the order of the fatness and the dew reversed? Read the rest of this entry »

You may have gathered by now that I have recently completed Reiki 1. I’m loving the additional balance and harmony.

As I have grown older and developed my skills, I have come to appreciate the many facets of life. I know my weaknesses and my strengths. By completing Reiki 1, I feel that I have an opportunity to work on some of my weaknesses. The first precept “Just for today – do not worry” is my starting point. I’m not an anxious person, but I do tend to worry sometimes. Read the rest of this entry »

Reiki is an ancient healing technique; which infuses life force energy to the receiver and often relieves pain, speeds up the healing process, reduces stress and revitalises the energy of the receiver.�

When Reiki is transmitted through laying-on of hands in a treatment it stimulates life force energy in the receiver recharging their energy system.� Lack of vitality (chi or ki) is the main cause of dis-ease in the non-physical body in the same way lowered immune response is the physical reaction to manifested disease.� Laying-on of hands with Reiki stimulates life force energy facilitating the non-physical body’s full return to vitality and health.� It is the belief of many Reiki and holistic practitioners that dis-ease is manifested first on non-physical levels and is later manifested in the body so that when the subtle body or auric field is recharged, health can return to the physical body.� The Reiki practitioner draws the life force from the Universe and passes it onto the receiver; in the process both the practitioner and receiver draw in this healing energy from the electromagnetic field around them.
