Introduction - Ger as the Kosher Universal Spiritual Path

Introduction to Ger as the Kosher Universal Path

Ger, (poorly and wrongly translated as resident stranger), is an extremely important concept in Torah, as it emphasizes the inclusivity of this spiritual path. Ger is the individual who has made Kabbalah and committed to the yoke of Torah, joining him/herself to God, attaching him/herself to Israel, and rejecting all forms of intermediaries or shituf.

This concept of Ger IS the Kosher Universal Path of the Torah-based spirituality that offers a path to connect with the Divine that is accessible and relevant to people of all nations, without the need to convert and without religion. The term "kosher" in this context does not refer to dietary laws (Kashrut), but to a spiritual path that is authentic and true to the teachings of the Torah. The term "Universal" implies that this path is open to all people, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or background.

According to Torah, God chose Israel to be a light unto the nations and to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai, and rules over Israel directly without the intermediary of an angel. Ger has rejected all forms of intermediaries or shituf and embraced the Seven Laws of Noach, making a commitment to accepting the yoke of Torah and connecting to God directly, and attaching to Israel.

The concept of making Kabbalah involves declaring a commitment to accepting the yoke of Torah, joining oneself to God, and attaching oneself to Israel, as well as rejecting all forms of shituf (intermediaries). This declaration is made in front of a mini Beit Din (court) of three Jews, who afterwards proclaim aloud "mekabel, mekabel, mekabel," translated as "accepted, accepted, accepted." By making this declaration, one becomes part of the fourth house of Israel, known as the House of the Gerim, and is no longer regarded as part of the nations.

Such a one is not only no longer under the authority of the angel that was ruling over his person but is now connected straight to God like Israel, which could also be interpreted as Yishar (straight) to El (God). Such an individual is known as a Yehudi (Megillah 13a), as a Yehudi has rejected idolatry (shituf).

The key principles that underpin Ger as the Kosher Universal Path include the importance of connection to the Divine, self-improvement, understanding one's soul, understanding the ger concept, mazal, inyan, how the universe works, and how God interacts with us. This path emphasizes the need for individuals to cultivate a personal relationship with the Divine through Torah study, prayer and  mazal.

The Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog is ultimately the development of a book that I am planning to write and publish. The title is Kosher Universal Spirituality, Connecting directly to the God of Israel without converting to Judaism and without Religion I believe that there is a great need for the clarification of this topic for the benefit of the people from the nations as well as Jewish people because organized religion together with the internet has caused for much confusion on this topic. The idea is to attempt to undo this confusion and to help people discover their own path of kosher universal spirituality with no conversion or religion required.  Kosher in the title has nothing to do with Kashrut, but refers to the authentic legitimate spiritual path that is in the Torah and has been there since the creation of Adam and before. You are welcome to explore this journey with me. Comments and constructive criticism are welcomed

What humanity is truly in need of is Liberation from Religious Dependence

In the quagmire of human existence, religion has long been portrayed as a guiding light, offering solace, purpose, and community. Yet, beneath its veneer of sanctity lies a profound paradox—a trap ensnaring the minds of millions, stifling the very essence of independent thought. From the cradle, we are indoctrinated into belief systems that demand obedience and blind faith. We are taught to relinquish our autonomy, surrendering our critical faculties at the altar of tradition. But what if we dared to question? What if we dared to challenge the shackles of religious dependency? Religion, in its essence, is a construct of control—a tool wielded by the powerful to subjugate the masses. It preaches obedience and conformity, promising salvation in exchange for unwavering allegiance. Yet, beneath its façade of righteousness lies a sinister agenda—a suppression of individuality, a stifling of dissent. It is time to break free from the chains that bind us—to reclaim our autonomy, our sovereign...
