In my full life was very, very fewer times erstwhile I was as completely amazed as after digesting Jewish History,Jewish Religion: The Weight of 3 1000 Years, whose text counts only a 100 pages.
In fact, despite his solid education in academic sciences and the enthusiastic testimonies provided by prominent personalities, it was hard for me to accept the reality of what I read. As a result, I paid a large sum to a young student I knew by ordering him to verify the claims contained in Shahak's books and from what he could say, all of the hundreds of references he had checked seemed accurate or at least found in another sources.
Even with all this due diligence, I must stress that I cannot straight vouch for Shahak's claims about Judaism. My own cognition of this religion is absolutely insignificant, mostly confined to childhood, erstwhile my grandma occasionally managed to drag me to church in a local synagogue, where I sat among the masses of older men praying and singing in any unusual language, wearing various ritual clothes and spiritual talismans, which I always thought was much little enjoyable than my usual Saturday morning cartoons.
Although Shahak's books are rather short, they contain so much amazing material that it would take many, many thousands of words to begin to summarize them. fundamentally almost everything I knew – or thought I knew – about the religion of Judaism, at least in its zealous orthodox conventional form, was completely wrong.
For example, traditionally spiritual Jews do not attach much importance to the majority of the Old Testament, and even very learned rabbis or students who have devoted many years to intensive survey may stay mostly unaware of its content. Instead, the center of their spiritual worldview is the Talmud, a huge, complex and somewhat contradictory mass of secondary writings and comments built over many centuries, so their spiritual doctrine is sometimes called "the Talmudic Judaism". Among the large part of the Talmud faithful is supplemented by the Cabal, another large collection of accumulated writings, mostly focusing on mysticism and all sorts of magic. Since these comments and interpretations form the core of religion, much of what everyone takes for granted in the Bible is considered in a very different way.
NO MONOTHEIST JUDAISM
On the most basic level, religion of most conventional Jews are not truly monotheistic at all, but alternatively they contain a wide scope of different male and female gods, having rather complex relations with each other, and these entities and their properties vary enormously between many different judaic subsects, depending on which parts of the Talmud and Cabal place on top.
For example, the conventional judaic spiritual cry "Lord is One" has always been interpreted by most people as monotheistic affirmation and in fact many Jews take precisely the same view. But a large number of another Jews believe that this declaration refers alternatively to achieving sexual union between the first male and female divine beings. And the unusual thing is that Jews with specified radically different views see absolutely no difficulty in praying alongside each another and simply interpreting their identical singing in a completely different way.

Moreover, spiritual Jews seemingly pray to Satan almost as willingly as they pray to God, and depending on the various rabbinic schools, the peculiar rituals and sacrifices they practice may be intended to gain the support of 1 or the other. And again, as long as rituals are decently observed, Satan’s worshipers and worshipers of God get along perfectly and consider each another equally devout Jews, only from a somewhat different tradition. Shahak repeatedly stresses that in conventional Judaism the nature of the ritual itself is absolutely superior, while the explanation of the ritual is alternatively secondary. So possibly a hebrew who washes his hands 3 times clockwise could be horrified by another who is walking counterclockwise, but whether washing his hands was meant to honor God or Satan would not be of much importance.
Strangely, many conventional rituals are designed to deceive or deceive God, His angels, and sometimes Satan, as the mortal heroes of any Greek legends may effort to deceive Zeus or Aphrodite. For example, any prayers must be spoken in Aramaic alternatively than Hebrew, due to the fact that the holy angels clearly do not realize the first language, and their confusion allows these verses to slip without hindrance and act without divine interference.
Moreover, since Talmud is simply a immense collection of published comments accumulated over a 1000 years, even the most explicit injunctions have been sometimes transformed into their opposites. For example, Majmonides, 1 of the highest rabbinic authorities, categorically prohibited rabbis from receiving payment for their spiritual teaching, declaring that all rabbi who receives a wage is simply a bad robber sentenced to eternal torment; However, later the rabbis yet "interpreted" this message on something completely different and present almost all rabbis collect salaries.
Another fascinating aspect is that until late the spiritual life of Jews was frequently dominated by all sorts of highly superstitious practices, including magic amulets, potions, spells, spells, curses, and sacred talismans, with rabbis frequently playing an crucial secondary function as witches, and even this remains entirely actual among the highly influential rabbis of Israel and the surrounding areas of fresh York. Shahak's writings did not appeal to many of these individuals and for years continually attacked him with all sorts of spells and terrifying curses aimed at bringing him to his death or illness. Many of these conventional judaic practices do not seem entirely different from those we usually associate with African shamans or voodoo priests, and indeed, the celebrated legend of the Praga Golem described the successful usage of rabbinic magic to revive a giant creature built of clay.
