Lack Of Understanding The Equality Of The Soul
Destroying Jewish Solidarity

USA (VNN) - Jews have always thought that there was something special and unique about the soul in a Jewish body. Today that very idea is tearing at the heart of Jews through out the world. (see AP report following)
A new web book "Equality Based on the Soul" may be timely reading for our Jewish brothers. Hindus, always known for their religious tolerance, have always viewed all life as equal, based on the soul. Each soul having its unique relationship with God.

Equality based on the soul, compares Jews and Hindus, and shows that they come from a common Vedic source. This would give Jews, Muslims, Christians and Hindus a common ground of understanding and respect.

Thus world peace is possible based on the Equality of the soul and the common roots of the traditions. Equality based on the Soul, explores the name of God, EL KNA (the root in Hebrew of the name Christ), which is the most important name of God for the Jews, and is a form of Krsna's name, KANA. You will be surprised to find a mere 400 year difference in dates. We are 5000 years into Kali yuga and the Jewish date is 5758.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - American leaders of two liberal branches of Judaism are asking rabbis to speak out this Jewish New Year against attempts by the Orthodox to define just who can be called a Jew.

The dispute heated up earlier this year when Orthodox lawmakers in Israel sought to invalidate conversions performed by non-Orthodox rabbis. In March, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada declared two liberal branches of Judaism - the Reform and Conservative movements - "not Judaism at all."

"There's a lot of turmoil out there," Epstein said. "It is something that is burning in people's stomachs."

"There's tremendous anguish in our community right now," said Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the New York-based Union of American Hebrew Congregations, a Reform group.

"This is one of those efforts that we think will help bind us together," said Richard Wexler, national UJA chairman. "Things are very fragile right now."
