Do Jews believe in equality

Answer 1

Yes.

As a people, we are told that our God is the ultimate Judge. We are also told that because God loves His people, He is merciful and long suffering. Throughout The Bible, example after example is given of both concepts. First the injustice happens, warning is given and not taken, then justice is meted out. Sikhism is justice because they have a belief in life & death & fairness. by the gay transvestine

r we are also mindful that God is also the deliverer of justice. It is not our duty to judge nations, nor to extract punishment. That's God's Job. We are directed to judge among ourselves, to live equitably with each other and with everyone around us.

The principle is apparent with the "wars" that Israel has fought. In those wars, Israel took extraordinary measures to preserve life and destroy only the threat, not the people. While there was huge loss of munitions and arms of the opposing faction, there was also extraordinary little loss of life given the circumstances.

Answer 2

It's complicated.

Judaism holds that Jews are Chosen by God for a particular purpose and assignment. This idea of chosen-ness is both intentionally and mistakenly construed like racial superiority, but is actually much closer to being chosen for a mission. A good example would be the Fellowship of the Ring in the Lord of the Rings. There is nothing that makes the members of the Fellowship superior to rest of Middle Earth, but they have a critically important task that is probably more important than any other single task on the planet.

Since Judaism believes its mission is a spiritual one, it follows that Judaism holds Jews to a much more rigorous spiritual standard than non-Jews. Non-Jews, for example, are not expected to follow the Dietary Laws, the Tithing Laws, and numerous other categories of laws. However, Jews believe that in all civic matters such as the rights and duties of citizens, Jews and Non-Jews should be equal.

Answer 3

It depends on what group you talk to. Ultimately as a group of people, according to the book of Genesis, we are little more than librarians and breeding stock for the bloodline of the Messiah. Our existence according to the strictest most literal interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, is, basically breeding stock; there is nothing remotely special about us, other than the fact that the direct descendant of Adam needs somebody to screw. We Jewish men, produce daughters just for him, whoever it is in the current generations. Let me explain, highly likely a religious Orthodox Jew will be deeply offended and insulted by such a crude interpretation of Judaism, but, here goes; God created Adam and Eve, and we need to be nice to each other as human beings because, yes, its true, God is a pornographer pervert who apparently liked watching brothers and sisters breed to populate a planet. According to the book of Genesis God's intent was for people to run around naked in a paradisical garden, basically having sex and eating fruit all day long. What if the woman was ugly, or the man brutish and ugly? That wasn't a problem; when God newly created humanity, the first people were made perfectly proportioned in every way. Adam, was perfectly well-muscled and masculine, and many theologians have theorized as much, while eve was perfectly curved and beautiful. So, why are there ugly people in the world? Oh that's simple; you can take two handsome people, a handsome man and a pretty woman, however if on the inside they are extremely evil, they will crank out ugly kids. Humility, selfless love and kindness are the essence of heaven, malicious cruelty, vanity, and selfishness, are separate from heaven, the more a human heart is separated from heaven, the greater the corruption of the soul, and since children are a piece of your very soul it stands to reason that evil malicious people, make ugly kids. Because Adam and Eve were made by God himself, according to Hebrew tradition, one of the reasons Satan was jealous, was precisely because Adam was so handsome, even by angelic standards. Again Adam and Eve were BORN perfect, no flaws at all, they were divinely perfect. God, after all, doesn't make garbage, we do. Bear with me; Adam had many sons and Daughters in his 900 year plus lifetime, according to Genesis but only Abel, looked like him, had his personality, etc, etc. He had many sons, but only one, was his father's son. Each one of the men mentioned in the lineage named in Genesis, from Adam, to Noah, they were all identical to one another physically, with the exception of Noah, who was born an Albino (source; Book of Enoch, although questionable it is not accepted by any Abrahamic faith). The reason you have white and lighter skinned people in the world is because of Noah's anomaly. What was the purpose of Noah's albinism? God was telling Enoch that if one of his grandkids was born Albino, it meant the end of the world was near. Anyway, from Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Judah, to David, to Daniel, all the men of that lineage, look just like Adam, the first man, with variations in skin tone but they all look alike. See as the generations of men and women get further and further away from the pristine perfection God created, the more and more distant your female relative needs to be in order to breed with them. Adam and Eve's children, because Adam and Eve were genetically perfect, well, a brother could get away with impregnating his sister. Again, the problems caused by inbreeding have nothing to do with the act itself, so much as the fact that lack of variety in genes create a greater proneness to copy errors. Indeed if you look at the book of Genesis, the further and further you get away from Adam, the less and less incest and inbreeding occurs. Originally, it was brothers and sisters getting married and having kids, however, by the time you get to Abraham, he has to marry his half sister (same father different mother) Sarah. By the time you get to Moses, pretty soon only your cousin is okay, by the time you get to CONTEMPORARY Judaism, most Jewish religious groups say only second and third cousins are okay. In China, in remote ancient times, inbreeding was okay but in China TODAY, it is against the law to marry someone who has the same family name. A Wong can not marry another Wong, they have to marry a Yang or a Chen. The point I'm trying to make is, that creationists argue that "proof" for "biblical truth," is rooted in the fact that in cultures across the globe, in remote ancient times, there are traditions that point to inbreeding; not just cousin stuff, close inbreeding, brother and sister stuff however, the further and further you remove yourself from that time period, the more and more incest becomes taboo. The reason the Jewish people need to exist, is, like I said, to preserve the bloodline, of whoever it is is "most like Adam." In other words, the ashkenazi are wrong; if only your mother is Jewish YOU can not be considered Jewish. Strictly speaking, Judaism holds the view that all human beings are equally capable of extreme good, or extreme evil, however, it holds the view that Jews are particularly obligated to hold higher moral and ethical standards than everyone else, because, being the people "most like Adam," God "expects more" from us. Meaning, if Jews do evil, he punishes us more severely, than he would a gentile. If a gentile commits evil, I believe the Bible says, God punishes him, and only him, however if a Jew does evil, God will punish his children, and his children's children, and their children down ten generations. When a Jew does wrong, according to the Biblical view of God, they have a lot more to answer for. Why is this? To help me explain, I will need to borrow some occult knowledge; this is only my own interpretation, and nowhere in the Jewish or Abrahamic faith cannon is this accepted, or even talked about. Here goes; according to occultists, the human soul is, more or less, like a cloud of perfume, whose center, is in your body. When a person wearing loads of perfume sits down somewhere, and then they leave, a trace of that perfume will linger for hours on end. The human soul is the same way; we leave traces of ourselves wherever we reside for a long time. See, the first lands ever created by God here on earth, is the land of Israel itself, the first soil, where God walked. Because Adam was made by the hand of God himself, he left upon Adam a strong "spiritual residue," which gets passed on to all his direct descendants. The reason the Hebrew people have produced, at least in ancient times, more spiritually enlightened individuals, in disproportionate numbers compared to other peoples, and in a shorter time frame, is because the Hebrews, being most like Adam, a man made from the soil where God first dwelt, anyway the Hebrews are more spiritually sensitive, than anyone else in the world. A Jew who is an atheist, therefore, is not a Jew at all, because if a person claiming to be Jewish can not even feel God's pressence, it means that their blood is extremely thin. The flesh was formed from the soil, and you inherit your flesh from your mother and father, in addition to a piece of their soul. A trace of God exists in all human beings in some so potently, that even non-Jews may posses deeper spiritual sensitivity. However, where spiritual sensitives are common among the Hebrews, they are very rare among non-Hebrew people. The Native American "great law giver," Daoist immortals, Chinese Daoist immortals, Judaism, does not deny, such individuals may exist, because having a little bit of God in them an "accident" can happen, where a gentile may be born just as, or perhaps more sensitive spiritually, than any Hebrew. Again, there is a reason, why the Hebrew people have produced a disproportionate number of the world's prophets, seers, saints, whatever. There is also a reason, why also disproportionately, among Catholics, most of the people who achieve what they call Sainthood, tend to be southern Europeans who may have Hebrew ancestry and not even be aware of it. Because the Hebrew people are more sensitive to the very pressence of God, that means that if we do evil, we do evil, KNOWING God exists, and to God, such an act is nearly unforgiveable. I mean, a person blind to the spirit world who "doesn't know better," may be forgiven, however a spiritually sensitive Hebrew, NEEDS to be punished, down ten generations, that is the reason God punishes the Hebrew people more severely. A person can not claim Atheism, and Hebrew heritage both at once, it just isn't done in the strictest definition of what Judaism is. Strictly speaking absolutely Judaism believes in equality, however, the Hebrew people are supposed to have a "special duty." The belief, that Jews are human, and goyim are animals, is a corruption, a falsehood, and countless times in the Bible the Hebrew prophets warn of such thinking. However, most modern religious Jews prefer the self-worshiping text of the Talmud, rather than the ethics of the Torah. To any religious Jews out there suit yourselves; your children will end up paying for it. So what am I saying here? If indeed those people were Hebrew descendants, and if the stories about ashkenazi evil in Europe are all true then, the Holocaust was merely a matter of time. The Bible, gives two warnings; "Children of Israel, if you do wickedness, I will punish your children, and your children's children down ten generations." The second warning being, and this is the more famous one; "Vengeance is mine." Once again, considering the malicious arrogance that many Europeans claim the Jews there had, the Holocaust was merely a matter of time; God does not play favorites, far from it, the Bible clearly dictates the burden of ethical behavior weighs heavier on Jews than other people. Again, a person can not claim Hebrew heritage, and they have no right to say "I'm Jewish" if they do not even believe in God or say "there is no God." Spiritual sensitivity, is indeed inherited, this is universally known across all occult circles, Lao Tzu, the famous Chinese philosopher, was born to a family of Chinese people who could trace their ancestry to primitive shamans. Lao Tzu was born in a province were people practiced magic, and Shangdi worship. In other words the man came from a family of "witches." A Jew can not claim Hebrew ancestry, and say they do not believe in God; if they can not even feel the pressence of God then, they are not Hebrew, its that simple.

Answer 4

I learned this one at my synagogue. Equality is important to all Jews. I learned at temple that In Judaism we view equality as very important for a better world. Anti-semetism (anti-Jews) are one of our biggest threats. We view them as people who act superior to their fellow human-beings. Even thought we view equality as important many orthodox temples have a separate section in the temple for women. At the western wall (one of the holiest places in the religion) has a women and mens section. But in Judaism we believe the world would be a better place if the world came together in peace and no one hated or discriminated against each other. In the Talmud and Torah it promises the world will be a better place when the messiah comes. (messiah is Hebrew for savior) The messiah will then save humanity from evil. Everyone will be equal. Back on topic: It says in the Torah: All men and Women were made in the image of Adonai. Everyone is created equal.

Answer 5

nope, not in most of Europe nor any Muslim country but it ALWAYS depends on how you look at it.
