The World of the Bible
Question
Hello Rabbi, and thank you very much for the lessons,
1. A question that gets asked a lot, and everyone gives a different answer: is there a clear definition of fear of Heaven? I’d be glad if you could say what it is.
2. Is the holy spirit found today among the great rabbis? Was it present in the period of the Talmud? [(And if its definition is actually different from what people tend to mean, I’d be glad if the Rabbi could define it, please) (I already went to the dictionary :)]
3. The book series “The World of the Bible”—does the Rabbi know it? If so, what does the Rabbi think of it?
Answer
- A deep commitment to God’s command, based on appreciation of Him.
- Not in the sense people usually mean. Some of them may perhaps have good intuition, and that can be regarded as the holy spirit.
- I’m not familiar with it.
