The problem is the time to read all that interests me.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, As I am getting older I become more aand more convinced that Kabbalah and Mysticism are wrong and harmful. We will remain in Galus until we rid ourselves of it.<BR/><BR/>Happy, The mitzvah is oneg so whatever makes you happy is correct. Anything different is just nonsense. My father when he comes to me, we cook according to his custom as you describe. I also put on a white shirt lichvodo. In my mind it becomes a de'oraisa of Kibud and Yra'ah so it is a mitzvah I do with alarcity. That is his oneg. The same applies to you if that makes your parents happy, that is the mitzvah the food is secondary.<BR/><BR/>Chardal, I know but it is easier to peg on Natan who everybody knows. Chemdas is dangerous and insidious.David Guttmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668302013143561290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21749731.post-1150152441068724862006-06-12T18:47:00.000-04:002006-06-12T18:47:00.000-04:00Chemdat Yamim MIGHT be sabbatean but it is pretty ...Chemdat Yamim MIGHT be sabbatean but it is pretty unlikely it was written by Natan Yimach ShemoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21749731.post-1150151550863956862006-06-12T18:32:00.000-04:002006-06-12T18:32:00.000-04:00davidalthough i dont comment much, keep posting, i...david<BR/>although i dont comment much, keep posting, i find you very refreshing.<BR/>Was wondering about the fish, soup, meat 3 course meal on friday night.<BR/>I grew up that way but I find that my kids dont like fish, i cant eat all 3 without being obscenly full. So we basically have soup (and maybe some meat from the soup mixed in.)<BR/>I find when my parents come, we serve the 3 courses.<BR/><BR/>Is there kabbalahdik reason for the former?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21749731.post-1150141295075861242006-06-12T15:41:00.000-04:002006-06-12T15:41:00.000-04:00I would say that kabalah and all sorts of mysticis...I would say that kabalah and all sorts of mysticism have a place in Judaism. You see in the gemara certain kabalistic leaninings.
