WEBSITE UNDER DEVELOPMENT
From the outside, and even for many on the inside, Judaism seems complicated, demanding, restrictive, antiquated, unforgiving, contradictory, sexist, elitist, and several other negative adjectives. Yet, none of those adjectives apply to the religion the way the majority of Jews live it.
Judaism is more than a religion. It is a way of life. The Torah, its most holy text, is not a set of rules. It is a guidebook for living our lives. Much of our Western concept of justice and fairness is firmly based on the concepts introduced by the Torah over 3,500 years ago.
Ha-delet is a Hebrew term that translates to "the door" in English. You may be unfamiliar with
Judaism. We invite you to open the door and walk in. You may know something about Judaism. Then the door is already open. We invite you to step inside. In both cases, we hope you will discover the beauty and logic of Judaism.
This website seeks to spark your curiosity about Judaism. If you are Jewish, are thinking about converting to Judaism, or want to learn about the religion that is the foundation of Western morality, you may find some answers here. If you don't find answers, the website may trigger questions.
This website offers concise overviews of many topics within Judaism. They are not intended
only for Jews but for anyone who
wishes to learn about Judaism. Many excellent websites provide substantial information about Judaism. You will find links to some of them on this website. You are encouraged to explore, ingest, and share them. Much of the information they provide is thorough and scholarly in nature. However, in some cases, understanding what they offer requires a solid foundation. Hopefully, ha-delet.com will provide that foundation.
Ultimately, our goal is to spark curiosity that may lead to further study and learning, resulting in a deeper connection to your neighbor, the Jewish people, and God.
