must one become jewish to learn parts of the faith?

Question

i am an occultist and am interested in part of the faith but not all.

Answer 1

You can learn whatever you want to learn. They aren't as judgemental as Christians and don't mind if you take the parts you want and reject the parts you don't want.

But stay away from the women! They are mine! I am fantastically lonely and I plan to stalk them, gently.

Answer 2

Yes! People lie about this but I'm going to tell you the 100% truth. You have to be Jewish to learn parts of the faith. If you are Jewish, you have to be 40 years old, married, and have children to learn parts. If you've learned those parts, you have to be like 80 years old, wear breeches and tall socks to learn others.

There are places that will pretend to teach you, like the Kabbalah Center. They are just telling you lies to get money because they know your curious.

Here's the problem. Like in all areas of knowledge, in Judaism, you can't learn more advance material until you've learned the beginning stuff. YOu can break out an advanced book and start reading it, and you might think you understand it. You don't. Why? Because you didn't learn the earlier material your frame of reference is completely off.

When the Zohar is talking, you are hearing it with 20th century ears and thinking about it with a mind that assosciates what is being said with similar things you heard in other places.

The problem is the ZOhar doesn't know those similar things and never went to those places. It's speaking with a 1st century Jewish mouth using 1st century Jewish contexts, which you don't understand because you never learned Mishnah and Gemorah to give you a grasp of that world.

The same is true if you try to learn Mishnah or Gemmorah without knowing Bible with commentators well. YOur lost, and worse, you don't realize it.

SO you open the Zohar and starts talking about the tree of life, and you get really into the mystical language and start thinking about how this is something you learned from Theosopists or something, and you think how deep it is; but you don't realize that an aremaic phrase he used two pages ago should tell you he's making a metephor based on Jewish law, but you didn't catch it because you didn't spend five years memorizing Gemmorah Peah so you would know how Jews prune trees in the Holyland.

And nobody is going to waste years teaching you hebrew so you can learn the TOrah, then teaching you aremaic so you can learn gemmorah, then teaching you gemorah Peah; because they aren't going to see why a non-Jew is so interested in learning how Jewish law demands trees to be prned in the Holyland.

Answer 3

No. You do not have to be Jewish in order to educate yourself in parts of the faith. The Kabbalah Center caters to all people (I am assuming this is your area of interest).

Answer 4

You can look up the info on the net,,go to the library,go to the synagogue,ask a Rabbi, rent a video, or go to a Christain book store. You don't have to be Jewish to learn their faith.

Answer 5

For actual Jewish Kabbala [I'm assuming that's what you mean], you need to be actually Jewish. You also need to be a Rabbi, to get to the highest portions.

I personally preffer Hermetic Kabbala, as it is independent of the Torah.

Any one can teach you gematria.

Answer 6

I didn't become a computer to learn about the computer so I'd say you don't have to conver to Judisim to learn about the Jewish faith.

Answer 7

BELIEF IS TRUST AND TRUST IS FAITH
“WE TRUST IN GOD” MEANS WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FAITH IN GOD.

Generally, faith is what you believe, even if you do not believe in believing it will be called your faith. In the world of faith, no one is a non-believer except those who declare themselves as Non-believers of One Alone GOD, by act or by word.
To understand faith, you must understand love. Love is a feeling, which keeps on changing and shivering. Sometimes it is minimized and sometimes it is maximized. To get balanced feeling, one needs to say “I love you” to express love and all those who are in love, keep on saying ”I love you” to assure their love, time to time and moment to moment as much as the feeling demands and feeling depends upon the potence of ones love.
As you know, just saying “I love you” cannot cause peace of heart but much more is desired to convey love and to gain satisfaction. Then gifts to show love are given to the beloveds and then time and services both are rendered to the beloveds to prove loyalty of love.
If you understand what a real love is, then you can easily understand the real faith in GOD because faith in GOD is same as one’s love and to balance the soul and body everyone needs to perform the same things which are performed in love such as by saying:
“There is no god but One Alone GOD, our Lord.”
“No one is good but One Alone GOD, our Lord.”
“There is no one who is our saviour but One Alone
GOD, the saviour of all.”
And that is not enough, one must keep on thanking GOD, Praising GOD, Serving GOD and Worshipping GOD with all of one’s heart, with all of one’s soul, with all of one’s energy and to prove one’s loyalty, one must follow the commandments of GOD our Lord. If one will do all what is required in love for the faith in GOD, one will be declared as the real servant of GOD our Lord and all acts of one will prove that one honourd one’s GOD our Lord and that is what one requires for salvation.
Please keep in mind:
1- Those who act against the commandments of GOD are sinners.
2- Sinners do not honour their GOD their Lord.
3- Those who do not honour their GOD their Lord are enemies of GOD the Lord of all.
4- Enemies of GOD the Lord of all will be punished here and will be thrown in hell there, after the judgment.
Beware please, the devil calls towards sins and saviours, a way not shown by the GOD through testaments and commandments.
“READ THOSE WHO HAVE EYES WITH VISION”

Faith is same for all religions and religions are the ways to follow the commandments of our GOD our Lord and the religions are the teachings to perform the acts according to the revealed books by the GOD our Lord through norms as taught by the messengers of GOD and there is no religion which teaches to perform bad deeds, commit sins and crimes except those which are Satan led.
Difference between faith and religion is simple. Faith, according to the teachings is:
1- Believe in GOD as One Alone and Only GOD.
2- Acceptance of the commandments of GOD for acts.
3- Keeping in view the Day of Judgment before and after the performance of acts.
The real religion is, in which performance of the faith is not a problem at all.
Every faith other than the faith taught by God is blind and every religion which leads to saviours and gods other than GOD is false. Blind faith and false religions will lead people to the fire of hell.
Whosoever trusts in GOD must believe in faith because faith is a concern of the creatures with GOD. And concern is shown with the obedience of GOD and the most obedient is most concerned with GOD and the most concerned with GOD is a direct slave or a servant of GOD.
Obedience of the servant according to the commandments of GOD cause peace and blessing of the GOD. Because it’s not the servant who is mercy full but GOD who gave the commandments which cause mercy. And a servant can never be equal to the master.
Prayer or worship is essential to strengthen the faith and religions are ways of doing so. Religion is required by the faith because religion teaches how to establish faith through acts according to the commandments of GOD to be a perfect slave of GOD our Lord.
Faith in GOD is a feeling concerning the link with GOD.
And religion is a way to express it by following the commandments of GOD through different norms as demanded in the revealed books which different nations follow as a word of GOD our Lord. A real believer believes in all the teachings of the messengers of GOD and follows what is required through acts for salvation.
Life is blessed as a time of prayer
Earth is blessed as a house of prayer.
And all are equal as you see, every one have two eyes, two hands etc. And GOD is Mercy full to all and is not GOD of a certain nation but belongs to every one equally. And those who seek Mercy of GOD through acts of obedience of the GOD our Lord are the best among all.
