Spinoza and the Jewish future by Rowan Berkeley 7:23am Wed Feb 26 '03 address: 2, Denman House, Lordship Terrace, London N16 0JD, UK phone: +44 0208 211 8155 rowan_berkeley@yahoo.co.uk print comment This is very gratifying. I have just abandoned a very protracted attempt to convert to some (any) form of Judaism, although my emphasis has always been on acquiring Jewish nationality rather than accepting any form of the Jewish religion. Spinoza has been my escape route from this doomed attempt. If anybody visits my web-site, they will also notice a certain attachment to Aleister Crowley. Many Jews find it impossible to live without ideology-- either Orthodox Jewish religiosity, or some form of Marxism. However, the recent elections showed that the Jewish-Israeli public will vote for a secular alternative only when it is NOT significantly Leftish ( a lesson lost on Yossi Beilin and his latest proteges, the Societies of Secular and Humanistic Jews ). Spinoza never abandoned his Jewish nationality, though he left the religion "Judaism". Can anybody help me to take a leaf from his book and become a Jew of his persuasion? www.rowanberkeley.xnapster.com add your comments
