The Jewish religion in its fight against religious fanaticism New
We can find in our religion features of a practice that denotes intelligence and knowledge within creation. There are laws that require us to follow certain steps. We could take a simple example. It is forbidden during the holy days work, wear something that involves the body weight and load. All this leads to the creation of a start in abolishing slavery and decreed a day of rest, he established at the time of slavery in Egypt.
The scriptures refer to this term as a must and do see in others, those who know and know, that to them is also an ordinance, which requires them to participate in and correct this type of action. The odd thing is that this term can be extended to animals. Here it is noteworthy that if a rabbi or knowledgeable, see this action and nothing to do, is as guilty as the one committing the fault.
It denotes that a people should educate and is accessible tools, were the beliefs, fear, consciousness, intelligence and call for the end-invasive use of religion. Here as in many other parts is also the wisdom of scholars and escape liability. In the same ordinance reads only be blameless if to discover the personality of who is committing the fault, he believes, knows or assumes that anything done to correct, even then the claim. Seeing this side of the coin, we find that we can look, censor, edit, yet quiet.
Among the rules that deal with this issue, which also shows a bit more generous and we appreciate it when we are told that if someone is doing something that is not correct, but does so in good faith, we must emphasize its error, since the only thing is that we would make him feel bad and nothing benefit your lifestyle.
Here it is the story of a great rabbi on his way to Jerusalem to see across the river an old man is making a prayer in the wrong way. To leave his doubts about even the place, and once observed noted, indicates that this is neither the way nor the way. What should be done differently, and I prayed that prayer was not appropriate for the occasion.
A few days later, after visiting the holy places, the same rabbi, from the shore on the other hand beckoned to his new friend, he did not understand what the rabbi wanted to say, approached him. He did walk over the waters. To the surprise rabbinical rabbi apologized humbly and said that everything had been doing was right, that will not change anything, because the supreme listening on your own melody.
It comes to an end in terms of the metaphor of both stories. Ourselves and not others solely responsible for our actions, anyone seeking to change the world, you must first create change on a personal level to achieve this insurance, you will see greater harmony in others.
