Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Shlama va-Brikha! Seems U are from our camp LOL. [Mouse] :-) Ashkenazi jews added also that only to a person over 41 (as i remember). These rules in fact were set after the advent of Messiah Shabbatai Tsevi . As i know Sephardi do not necessarily keep them, Ashkenazi only. [Mouse] An Ashkenazi Kabbalist Rav Itzchak Luria passed away at age 38, leaving behind a great school of Lurianic Kabbalah. Were he to observe this rule - ... The rules in general were that a person should be grounded enough and mature enough before engaging in these practices. Age and marital status could be roughly related to them. Re. Shabbatai Tzvi - oh yes. The Rabbinic establishment was scared, er, speechless - and did all they could to make sure nobody ever came even close to those books and those practices. Stopped the majority, almost all. Attacks on Chassidism were the echoes of these battles. However about necessity to be married it is general rule common to all. `Coz it is based on Revelation... [Mouse] Probably not so - though the Sources say "how a man can love God if he doesn't know how to love other people, and how can a man love other people if he doesn't kow how to love his wife". Probably that is where this requirement is coming from. <http://us.ard./SIG=1296drgr8/M=295196.4901138.6071305.3001176/D=gr oups/S=1705075991:HM/EXP=1098545883/A=2128215/R=0/SIG=10se96mf6/*http://comp anion.> click here <http://us.adserver./l?M=295196.4901138.6071305.3001176/D=groups/S= :HM/A=2128215/rand=676575350> _____ * / * <?subject=Un> * Terms of Service <> .
