Doubt: A History

Jewish mystics

Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Crown...Part 2 E

Elisha ben Abuyah (Hebrew: אלישע בן אבויה‎) (spelled variously, including Elisha ben Avuya) was a rabbi and Jewish religious authority born in Jerusalem sometime before 70 CE. After he adopted a worldview considered heretical by his fellow Tannaim and betrayed his people, the rabbis of the Talmud refrained from relating teachings in his name and referred to him as the "Other One" (אחר, Acher).[1] Rabbi Louis Ginzberg, writing in the Jewish Encyclopedia (1901–1906), says that "it is almost impossible to derive from rabbinical sources a clear picture of his personality, and modern historians have differed greatly in their estimate of him. According to Grätz, he was a Karpotian Gnostic; according to Siegfried, a follower of Philo; according to Dubsch, a Christian; according to Smolenskin and Weiss, a victim of the inquisitor Akiba."

On today's Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten speaks to Rabbi Shlomo Litvin who runs 'Chabad Bluegrass' - on campuses in various Kentucky universities and is in attendance at the current AIPAC 2017 conference in Washington DC. In addition to giving details about the lineup of prestigious speakers including US Vice President Mike Pence, Litvin says there is a lot of meeting of the minds in-between sessions especially amongst college activists who are sharing ways to support Israel and fight BDS on campus.

Baal Shem (Pictures of Chassidic Life): II. Nigun (Improvisation)

Was the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Messiah?  Many of his Hasidim believed it in his lifetime; some continued to believe it after his death; and some believed or believe that  he will return from the dead to be recognised as the Messiah.  It is argued that the Rebbe himself shared the belief while he was alive.  Are there elements of this belief which are heretical - notwithstanding the general affection and even admiration in which Chabad are held?
