Someone wrote "Shalom mam is this true? "El is Saturn, that is why you call your saturn god elohim.
Saturn is represented by the symbolic black cube, or kabba, which was also worshipped in Mecca, also on the heads of those Judaism rabbis. That is why the Jews study Kabbalah. Kabba(cube) and Allah(God), which means the God-cube, Saturn." ------- and this one as well? "According to old legends preserved by the Rabbins, the angel at the gate of Eden instructed Adam in the mysteries of Qabbalah and of alchemy, promising that when the human race had thoroughly mastered the secret wisdom concealed within these inspired arts, the curse of the forbidden fruit would be removed and man might again enter into the Garden of the Lord. As man took upon himself "coats of skins" (physical bodies) at the time of his fall, so these sacred sciences were brought by him into the lower worlds incarnated in dense vehicles, through which their spiritual transcendental natures could no longer manifest themselves. Therefore they were considered as being dead or lost. The earthly body of alchemy is chemistry, for chemists do not realize that half of The Book of Torah is forever concealed behind the veil of Isis (see the Tarot), and that so long as they study only material elements they can at best discover but half of the mystery. Astrology has crystallized into astronomy, whose votaries ridicule the dreams of ancient seers and sages, deriding their symbols as meaningless products of superstition. Nevertheless, the intelligentsia of the modern world can never pass behind the veil which divides the seen from the unseen except in the way appointed--the Mysteries." Unbelievable ignorance -- and yet this type of nonsense is used to create more hatred of Jews -- as if we need any more hatred against us! The Hebrew for Saturn is שַׁבְּתַי / Shabbatai and is related to the word שַׁבָּת / Shabbat. The Forward has an article on this topic. The word אֵל / el has nothing to do with Saturn. It means mighty or powerful. אֵל / El is often translated as "G-d", and אֵל / El is often used as a name (description) of G-d by itself or as part of other words (e.g. elohim). It, and derivatives of it, can be used to speak of humans, angels and even false gods -- because it means "mighty"! Neither Saturn or El have anything to do with the Kabba cube of Islam. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. It most certainly has nothing to do with Kabbalah / קַבָּלָה. The word קַבָּלָה means “receiving.” It has nothing to do with tarot or witchcraft or alchemy -- all of which are FORBIDDEN in the Torah and to Jews. Kabbalah is to be studied ONLY by Jews very learned in understanding the Torah completely -- which tell us that G-d is one and that we are to follow His instructions to be good to our fellow human beings and live a holy life... From the Chabad: "Rabbi Chaim Vital asked his teacher, Rabbi Isaac Luria—the holy Ari, the greatest kabbalistic authority of the past millennium—about the use of "practical Kabbalah." This means the use of divine names of G‑d and of angels in various permutations in amulets and incantations to heal the sick and otherwise manipulate the natural world. "The Ari was strictly opposed to such practice... "When it comes to Tarot and Wicca, there is obviously a much greater danger, since many of the teachers were not at all pure and holy—and often on the contrary... "For a Jewish soul, the danger is much greater. A Jewish soul must nurture spiritual energy from a Jewish place. No substitutes will suffice in the long term—just as you cannot replace mother's milk with cow's milk, and all the more so with Coca Cola." Then you ask about legends. Legends are STORIES -- they are not literal and they are not theology! Judaism has a rich history of using stories and "tall tales" to make a moral point -- but they are NOT literal. Man is not cursed. That is what Christians (many of them) believe -- original sin is total nonsense. One of the verses most devastating to Original Sin is B'reshit / Genesis 4:7, where G-d tells Cain that he can overcome temptation. Cain is envious of Abel because G-d accepts only Abel's sacrifice. Cain is tempted to murder Abel. G-d says, "if you do not do good, sin crouches at the entrance. Its desire is for you, but you can rule over it." And finally -- the Torah is NOT hidden. Quite the opposite is true! The Jewish bible itself never once gives an example of a prophecy being "dual" or being "hidden." Thus the Christian concept of changing the meanings long after the fact are simply not supported in the Jewish bible. "For this commandment which I command you this day, is not concealed from you, nor is it far away. It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?" Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it? Rather,[this] thing is very close to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can fulfill it. Behold, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil, inasmuch as I command you this day to love the L-rd, your G-d, to walk in His ways, and to observe His commandments, His statutes, and His ordinances, so that you will live and increase, and the L-rd, your G-d, will bless you in the land to which you are coming to take possession of it." D'varim / Deuteronomy 30:11-16.
