Next world

Your Honor, it is true that you believe that there is no life after death.
That there is no reward and punishment?
I would love an answer on this subject (don’t worry, I won’t lose my mind if I hear this)
I am a 40-year-old Haredi benefactor, very capable, a shulman, but I was also curious, I was also a kabbalist, about six months ago I also left Miza because I am a halachic person and discovered many mistakes in Ari, and in any case I understood that the rabbinic interpretations were only imagined as his character appears from the book Book of Visions and even more from the book Book of Actions.

And I also understood that indeed the Zohar does not rush me just as the Golem does not rush, no matter what I snatched from my friends to the kollel.
I searched for Israel Nathan Rubin’s book The Fruits of the Rambam’s Deception.

It traumatized me, did the Rambam really grasp what is troubling every Haredi whose mind has been opened, and of course the most traumatic part is whether there really is no life after death, (which of course is derived from the fact that there is no law and no judge) The most delusional thing is that this whole world is a blessing in vain, it is no longer a God who cannot do everything but simply can only do evil (according to this perception)
Who cares about all this suffering and garbage, how do you manage to live with something like that?
Are you convinced that there is no life after death?
And all the stories about clinical death and possessions and séances and miracles of all kinds of rabbis in the past generation (I never gave a damn about it, but now that you’ve given me the groundwork for post-death, I’m trying to hold on to it)

I did not write or say that I do not believe in life after death. What I said is that the factual tenets of faith (Awahab, Providence, the coming of the Messiah) are not binding, since it is not clear to what extent they are truly original from Sinai and not later inventions. And it is also difficult to provide evidence from the Bible because it is subject to interpretations (like an eye under a mammon), and therefore it is difficult to learn anything clear from it. Although it seems to me that there is life after death, since I am a dualist who thinks that there is something in us beyond the body. In any case, when the body dies, something is likely to remain in some form. But this itself is also an opinion, and I do not think that opinions have a binding status for others who do not reach these conclusions. Everyone has their own opinion, and opinions can be mistaken. I do not put anyone down or raise anyone up based on my opinion, no matter how strong it may be. In particular, that there is a law of rape in opinions (which I just wrote a column about). Beyond that, even if there is life after death, I have no idea what happens there. The descriptions are the responsibility of the describer, and in my opinion no one really knows. Although I say again that in my opinion, there is an explanation that there is a law and a judge as you wrote, and therefore there is logic in saying that there is reward and punishment in the afterlife (even if not in the afterlife). But again, this is an assumption. As I said, I think it is correct, but I do not raise or lower anyone to the bottom because of my assumptions,

The belief in reward and punishment is apparently derived from the same reasoning that if we conclude that there is a Creator, it is very clear that He would give a book of instructions for the purpose of the world and laws – and since this is the case, there is no value to a law that does not have sanctions and rewards for good deeds.
And from there also comes the belief in evil, because here in the world there is no real reward and punishment that are visible to the eye, and there is a righteous and a wicked person, etc.

As for the contradictions in the words of the Rabbi, the late Rabbi, does the honorable questioner act this way in everything he sees as a contradiction that he does not understand, and says that there is no truth in everything. Of course not, the world is full of contradictions for those who do not understand its depth, and there are some points that are not always understandable to the ignorant.

There are also contradictions in the laws of physics. This does not mean that all things are not true, but that our minds do not grasp them.

And of course, in the Torah itself and in the Bible, there are contradictions and some points that are not always well-resolved, due to the shortness of the grasper.

The great and faithful Rabbi testified about the Torah of the Rabbi [see Chaim Vital, may God be pleased with him] who saw everything he saw [it is written in the introduction to Etz Chaim] and was followed by very wise people, except that when they saw the Torah of the Ari, they marveled at its power, and invested in it like the Gra and more.
