THE CABALA OF INFIDELITY

Actress Kristen Stewart's infamous cheating scandal with her married director, Rupert Sanders, won't affect the promotional events scheduled for the final Twilight film Breaking Dawn Part II.

God is famous for saying, I am a jealous God. What does God have to be jealous about? The Bal Shem Tov, Jewish mystic from three centuries ago in Poland explained, To God, creation is a girl and God is trying to seduce her to marriage, but the girl likes to test the suitor through jealousy.

Associating with or serving other gods is infidelity to God; this ethereal indiscretion is reflected in the basic relationship between men and woman. Derived from the instinctual understanding that man’s role in the physical child is invisible, jealously is male predominant.

The Bal Shem Tov concludes by saying, In the end the girl admits, none of them meant anything to her and the two are married. People, like movie stars who live their lives in the open are exhibitionists of human characteristics usually kept secret – the metaphor of life.

The Cabala explains, Every part of the Mashal/Metaphor is important to understanding the hidden secret behind the veneer of the story. Whatever we serve in life, to get power or pleasure or greed, makes God jealous – but, in the end, we will all admit it all meant nothing to us at all.

Apologize for What?

David Letterman's apology to his wife and staff members means another big night in the Nielsen ratings for the late-night talk-show host, the Associated Press reports.

The disparity between men and women is addressed in the Torah through the laws of marriage. A man is commanded to marry and have children, but a woman is not commanded and only does so for other reasons like love, security or in our time convenience. Both man and woman once married are prohibited from being sexual with a male; the law of the Torah proscribes that once a woman is married she can no longer be with another man–Jewish men are in perpetuity prohibited from other men. Both man and woman are allowed other women; the man can have more than one wife and the woman is allowed to be sexual with other woman–thats how life was back before the destruction of the First Temple 2600 years ago.

So what did David Letterman do wrong? He cheated, lied and hid the truth.

The basic laws in the Torah favor women, for example a man can only be with his wife when she wants and a man is commanded to satisfy his wife and not the other way around.

Relationships are based on honesty–it is more important the how than the what.
