Do you believe Torah interpretation factors into Jewish happiness and mindfulness and health?

I had a dream where God told me that if I wanted my future children to be smart, I should begin training them when they are very small.

I did not begin to study the Torah until I was in high school and for 1/3 of that time, I studied it as a Christian who was looking for signs of Jesus.

So even though I have a background in the Old Testament Torah, its mostly a post teenage and adult background, if I had began Torah study when I was 3 years old, it might have changed my I. q. and made me a healthier person but I was a lot older when I began Torah study.

I now study the Torah for itself and not in relation to Christianity but I study it as an adult and not as a young child whose brain and body is still developing and changing in massive ways.

When you start mixing your scriptures you’ll begin to see all the inconsistencies between them.


Religion is like that unfortunately.


I wouldn’t put it on a kid to figure out the different nuances between many religions when even adults can’t agree on each other’s validity

I'm Jewish, and I don't take the bible seriously. I'm not HAPPY but I'm not upset either

The Torah is for the Jews
