		<description><![CDATA[By now, you may have seen the video of the supposed &#8220;Rabbi&#8221; wrapping a suspected pedophile, Eddie Long, in a Torah scroll and desecrating the Torah, as well as telling many lies. What you may not know, is that not only is this man not a rabbi in the Messianic movement (which is not considered Jewish by actual Jewish movements&#8230;.it&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1343">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One Kabbalistic train of thought is that the ancient Egyptians were so degraded, that they stained creation itself. The plagues were sent, not just to lift the Israelites up from where they were, but to set creation itself back on track. If we look at the order of the plagues, you can see that they undid the order of creation:&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1341">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time in the Bible that Israel is called a nation is by Pharoah. Out of fear and hatred, he defines the Israelites as a nation. Then, 3,000 years later, the nation of Israel once again comes into being partially because of widespread fear and hatred culminating in the Holocaust. As American Jews, we see the news. We see&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1339">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to update the website. The website software itself needed to be updated as well as several plugins. I was also going through old posts and found a few that were private, but still on the site. Most were from November 2009 &#8211; January 2011. They were concerning Thelema. Of course, I know why I privated them. They were&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1333">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sixteen days ago, I became a Jew. Well, that&#8217;s when the public ceremony was. I actually fulfilled the three requirements 2 days before: beit den, hatafat dam brit, and immersion in the mikveh. So, what&#8217;s it like being a Jew? Has anything changed? Before that happened, I thought I&#8217;d be at this point and be able to say &#8220;Nope! I&#8217;m&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1306">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week was a spectacular week for me. I went through the circumcision (hatafat dam brit, in my case), beit den (religious court), and mikveh (ritual immersion). I then went before my community and became a Jew. Words cannot express how I feel now. It is an experience unlike any I&#8217;ve ever experienced. It was a deeply emotional and religious&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1293">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the Israeli Absorption Agency made a campaign to get their expats to move back to Israel. In the process, they belittled American Jews. I actually had the chance to ask an Israeli expat about this campaign today after synagogue. She wasn&#8217;t aware of the controversy, but called it a &#8220;clash between the two major Jewish countries&#8221; and I think&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1288">(more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The High Holy Days are over. I broke my Yom Kippur fast last night. The services at our synagogue were nothing short of majestic. The Yom Kippur morning service was also attended by the Most Rev. Richard E. Donohoe, a Roman Catholic priest, who spoke at the end and gave the closing blessing/prayer. His words were beautiful and really underscored&#8230; <a href="http://www.moderngnosis.org/archives/1280">(more...)</a>]]></description>
