Analyzing the
Story of Charlie ©
by Akiva G. Belk
Essays are an extension of
our parsha and Gematria studies classes which discuss specific
subjects for the direction and upliftment of Kal Yisroel. This
essay study is dedicated in the loving memory of Mr. Paul Sakash,
may he rest in peace. If you would like to dedicate a parsha
lesson, Gematria study or an essay discussion for our cyberspace
class in the memory of a dear friend or loved one we will do
this for a gift of Chai, $18.00 American dollars.
Difference
What do Charlie the Chipmunk and Connie the Cunning Fox have
to do with you and your spouse? Charlie and Connie were
born different. Charlie was born a chipmunk. Connie was born
a fox. Just as the Creator made Charlie and Connie as different
species, He selected the descendants of Abraham to be different,
to be separated from the rest of the world. The Bible teaches
us to live differently from the rest of the religions of
the world. Even though some of us ignore this by trying very
hard to blend in, we are still different!
A Jew is a Jew because his or her parents are Jewish or at the
very least the mother is Jewish. (Some groups recognize a person
as Jewish if their father is Jewish.) Being Jewish is not a selective
process like in other religions. (One can convert but we discourage
it.) It is from conception! Being Jewish has nothing to do with
a person's degree of observance. It is based upon one's birth!
If you are born Jewish you are always a Jew. If a Jew converts
to another religion he or she is still Jewish! If a Jew denies
Judaism they are still Jewish! A Jew is always Jewish. For example:
If your great grandmother was Jewish it is very possible that
you may be Jewish even though your grand mother and mother are
not observant and were never observant. They may even be ardent
followers of another religion and you could still be Jewish.
So what does this mean?
Within the soul of every Jew
is a light placed there by G-d. Even though that light might
be just a small flicker buried deep within a Jew's unconsciousness,
it is there waiting to grow into a great flame! The light never
dies! In fact the Bible teaches that Jews who are so far removed
and even undetectable as being Jewish will remember and return
to G-d! How can a Jew remember something they never learned?
There are some things that do not have to be taught. Those things
are born within a person. Like the great Samoans who return to
the place of their birth, Jews return to the G-d of their faith.
