Thanks to all those who take the time to read my BLOGALOGALOGA!
The past week has been ultra amazing as usual. For a day I took part in this program called Discovery that made a lovely attempt to prove that G-d gave the Torah to the Jews at Mount Sinai. As I said, it was a lovely attempt as the program itself, while full of incredible speakers, did not tie together in a cogent manner.
What was interesting was the Bible Code speaker. Using trigonometry and rearranging, several statisticians found related words close together in Genesis (the first book). For example, they found the words (when they did a computer search) in close proximity to each other: September 11, Arabs, Towers, and Plane. Of course you ask, "How would the Bible know about all of those things?" Well the theory is that G-d created the world from the Torah, the Torah came before the creation of everything! Another example, they found over 35 famous Rabbi's in Genesis along with their respective birth and death dates! I need to do a little more research into this phenomenon, but one atheist statistician saw the results, put on a Kippah and became observant because he concluded that man could not create such a phenomenon.
As for my life, I started pre-Intermediate today. Now that I have an actual class schedule...
613 Mitzvos (Commandments, yes, there are a lot more than 10)
Jewish History
Spirituality
Ethics
Path of the Just
Philosophy
I only had one day, but so far so goooooood. Since I plan to be here for some time, I have to apply for a student visa. Somehow that requires proof that I'm Jewish (shhhh don't tell anyone), which means I have to prove that my mother is Jewish. This will be very interesting because I'm not sure that we have the paper work. And apparently circumcision is not considered proof. So fun times ahead but not to worry, I have two months to figure it out.
Also, I'm trying to get Skype to work on my computer. It refuses to connect. But once I do maybe there'll be a couple of you out there who might be willing to talk with me.
Again, thanks for the comments. Peace out players!!!
