Re: What did your coC teach about the Trinity
To be clear, the coc doesn't have particular clear teachings on ANYTHING. That said, CERTAINLY the denomination as a denomination (sorry Charlie, it is indeed a denomination) believes in the Trinity. Certainly I sang (as we all did) 'God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity' and 'Father, Son and Holy G...

Re: A Question for Agricola
Could be 'I am what is' - Being, Existence - TRULY this is a complex statement EVEN IN Hebrew, and it is not truly possible to capture it easily in English.

Re: A Question for Agricola
Remember I said Hebrew words work and build from a system of root consonants? The Torah is written in Hebrew - and like basically ALL ancient Hebrew (and most modern Hebrew also) it is written without any vowels. As you can see, Sefaria declines to translate it at all, but simply transliterates the ...

Re: A Question for Agricola
Also Hebrew accents (stresses) the last syllable - it's is ka-DESH. In YIDDISH (which is a Germanic language really - the pronunciation is KAH-dish. In English, it is also 'KAH-dish', because English borrowed the word from YIDDISH, which borrowed it from Hebrew, and merrily proceeded to pronounce it...

Re: A Question for Agricola
Oh - by the way - mourner's kaddish - all the kaddishes - is not in Hebrew. It's in Aramaic.
If you learn a bit of Hebrew, you will notice that these prayers aren't QUITE Hebrew!
There are tons of cognate words in Aramaic, that are very similar to Hebrew, but there are enough differences to tell.

Re: A Question for Agricola
The words are related. Hebrew has a 'root' system for word building, and a word basically consists of three root consonants, FROM WHICH, all forms of the word are built (English does something a bit similar, but with syllables - examples: gen (Latin for 'family', more or less): genre, genes, gentlem...

Re: A Question for Agricola
Mourner's Kaddish: May the great Name of God be exalted and sanctified, throughout the world, which he has created according to his will. May his Kingship be established in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire household of Israel, swiftly and in the near future; and let ...

Re: A Question for Agricola
It depends. Women CAN say kaddish for the dead, they just don't say it publicly in a mixed gender setting - IF they are orthodox. Conservative Jewish women do recite kaddish, and so do Reform Jewish women. Reconstructionist - I don't really know for certain - Reconstructionism is an offshoot of Cons...

Re: A Question for Agricola
Many Christians believe two things about Judaism which are false/wrong. One: that Judaism is Christianity only without Jesus (or conversely, that Christianity is Judaism but WITH Jesus). This is wrong. While both modern faiths began around the same time from the same philosophical origins, the path ...
